Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin stated that the SAVE Act would disenfranchise married women, requiring them to show a birth certificate at the polls if they have a married name. Breitbart News posted a video clip of the remarks on X and described the claim as false. The post has many users accusing Slotkin of lying or misrepresenting the bill’s requirements. The exchange has sparked widespread discussion online about voter eligibility rules.
The footage shows Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) standing at a wooden podium, addressing an audience. In the clip, she refers to an earlier vote and states: “The other thing that we blocked yesterday was the Save Act, right? Which was literally this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrats in any state to win any election and disfranchise all married women in the meantime by the way. You’d have to show your birth certificate at the polls if you have a married name.”
The video does not show the full event or any detailed audience response during the remarks. It is not clear from the footage alone whether the comments refer specifically to voter registration requirements or to the process of casting a ballot in person.
X Erupts Over Slotkin’s SAVE Act Warning to Married Women
Many commenters questioned the accuracy of the statements made in the clip. One wrote, “Lies are all the woke liberals have.” Another asked, “Do they have to lie to win?”
Others expressed frustration with the claims. Comments included “I am so tired of their lying. This is unethical” and “Liar, and she knows she’s lying. What’s her REAL agenda?”
Some focused on practical aspects of voting rules, noting that “Nothing changes for those already registered. Various IDs are accepted.”
Several replies suggested broader concerns, with one stating, “Another democrat lie who also thinks married women are stupid.”
The clip continues to circulate on X as part of a broader online conversation. It adds to the ongoing debate over voter eligibility requirements under the SAVE Act.
