4. The name you were born with might have changed, and that's what they're looking at

This is especially true for women who marry and take their husband's name. But there are American men who change their birthnames sometimes too. Your birth certificate says one name, your driver's license says something different. That's what the Repukes want to challenge.

My point is that there are probably more R women who have changed their name to their husband's, and D women are more likely to have kept their birth name even after marriage. Also D women who become divorced are more likely to resume using their birthname. I don't have anything to base that on, except that's what I did, and I personally know several other women who have done the same.

I believe this is going to bite them in the butt, so to speak. That's why I don't believe the Rs will ever actually do it.
