I just want to add a comment to those thinking the voting marital name change issue is not a problem

149. Good for you!

But not everybody has those organization skills. And for many women, their husbands manage all the important documents (as you do), and so may not have access to the documents themselves. (Of course you would give your wife access, you're Kaleva, but you and I know that not all men would.)

If, say, a husband thinks his wife shouldn't vote, or he was irresponsible and lost the paperwork, or maybe there was a fire or theft, or they got divorced and he refused to turn over her documents, or she fled an abusive home and left them behind, or....

None of those women will be able to vote without going through expensive and complicated steps - and they won't know it until they're turned away at the polls.

Creating new barriers to voting is not good for democracy.
