White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday called Democratic claims that the SAVE America Act would bar women who have changed their last names after marriage from voting a “huge myth.”
“There is zero validity to these claims,” Leavitt said Tuesday during a White House media briefing.
“You have the Democrats who have created this myth, and it has been perpetuated, unfortunately, by many in the mainstream media,” she added.
“Let me be very clear: The SAVE America Act does not prohibit anyone from voting, with the exception of illegal aliens.”

“The greatest way to disenfranchise American citizens from voting in American elections is to allow illegal aliens to vote, which is what Democrats want to do,” Leavitt said.
“We see it taking place in Democrat jurisdictions at the state and local level across this country,” she added.
“So the SAVE America Act corrects that, and as far as married women who have changed their names, if they’re already registered to vote, they are entirely unaffected by the SAVE Act.”
Rep. Hillary Scholten says the Save Act will prevent 160k women from voting in her district because they didn’t change their last names on their birth certificates after getting married.
