The radical Left wants America to believe that requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote is some kind of war on women. Ridiculous. Frankly, it’s an insult to women to suggest that changing their last name will block them from the ballot box. I think we know how to change our last names when we get married. We do it all the time for driver’s licenses and passports.
