The nation's polarized politics is extending into the requirements for voting.Anxiety levels are rising about the "SAVE" Act, an acronym for Safeguard American Voter Eligibility.Women are especially worried about being disproportionately impacted by the bill, which has passed the House and will be taken up next by the Senate.Passionate viewpoints about it are blowing across the country. "I think everybody should have an ID that says they're a citizen of the country to be able to vote in this country," said Beth McDonald of the East End.Her views about it contrasted sharply with those of Kathy King, who lives in Hebron."I think it really causes a lot of problems for immigrants, especially," King said.For millions of married women, it's a growing worry."My married name is Dohan, my maiden name was Butler," Lucinda Dohan of Glendale said.She reflected the concern about what happens if you can't prove citizenship because your surnames don't match.The SAVE Act bill as written would require proof of citizenship, like a passport or birth certificate, in order to register to vote. President Trump has maintained for years that the system is rife with fraud, even though known instances of fraud are rare. Even some Republicans have pointed that out.Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has remarked many times that it's "easy to vote and hard to cheat in Ohio."The comparatively few cases of voter fraud do not weigh with folks like Rhonda Sebastian of Montgomery."To me, it's immaterial because no non-citizen should be able to vote," Sebastian said.It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.Upon House passage, Secretary LaRose released this statement: "Ohio has become the national leader in election integrity, and we need a stronger partnership with the federal government to continue that work. I'm hopeful the SAVE Act will create a sense of urgency in lawfully providing states with the federal records we need to maintain accurate voter rolls, particularly when it comes to checking citizenship status."LaRose expressed concern about what he called "the lack of a clear plan to get us the citizenship records we need to do our jobs".Hamilton County Board of Elections Chairman Alex Linser criticized it as a solution in search of a problem.For those who are already registered to vote, it would be business as usual.But under the bill that's being considered, if there's a change of address or a change of name or if you're purged from the rolls for some reason, then proof of citizenship would be required to re-register."This will be incredibly inconvenient for women across the board" said Democratic political analyst David Pepper, who has put a whiteboard together sounding the alarm about requiring documents to prove citizenship."You can't do mail-in registration if that's required. You can't do online registration, automatic voter registration," Pepper said on the video recording.Asked if he thinks the Senate will approve the SAVE Act, Pepper said he thinks it's highly unlikely. He's urging people to call their Senators about it nevertheless."Forget ever the voting rights aspect of it. It's just government adding inconvenience, long lines, cost to a lot of people, transportation to a lot of people. I think it would be very, very unpopular," Pepper said.Surveys show most Americans do not have a passport and many lack a birth certificate document.President Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of fear mongering about the proposed legislation.Whether voter registration requirements will stiffen or stay the same is still up in the air."The whole voting situation should have been left alone" said Dohan, the Glendale woman who was not shy about voicing her disdain of President Trump. "Now it's making it easier for the wrong people to get into power."
