Millions of married women in Michigan don’t have birth certificates that match their legal names, meaning a resolution introduced by House Republicans could require them to pay up to $200 to prove their citizenship and register to vote. Stop the #PinkPollTax.

I could never forget - Michigan House Republicans are pushing HJR B to add a poll tax for married women to re-prove we're US citizens to vote... just like the #SAVEAct #PollTax #PinkPollTax #mileg

The Republican representative behind the #PinkPollTax might not even live in the district he represents. How can you trust Republicans to make laws, when we don't know if they're even following the law? #RepublicanHypocrisy

“Make no mistake, this is a #PinkPollTax because it disenfranchises women. It also disenfranchises minorities, seniors, and rural voters. And this poll tax disenfranchises anyone who can’t find their birth certificate and doesn’t have a passport.” — Rep. @votepenelope.bsky.social #MILeg

“We must look at this resolution squarely and call it what it is — discriminatory. It’s a disproportionate tax & a negative policy on women & especially Black & Brown communities at the voting booth.” — Rep. Tonya Myers Phillips #PinkPollTax #MILeg

Rep. @maixiong.bsky.social explained the stakes of the #PinkPollTax that could affect women, seniors and the military: “This is not how democracy works, this is blatant voter suppression happening before our eyes... These are unnecessary barriers being put between Michiganders and the ballot box.”

"The reality is that this is a poll tax. Michigan’s working families shouldn’t have to pull $30 to $165 out of their gas and grocery budgets so they can choose who represents them." — Rep. @mkoleszar.bsky.social on the cost to women of getting extra documents to cast a vote #PinkPollTax

Rep. @stephenwooden.bsky.social outlined the danger of the #PinkPollTax: "So-called proof-of-citizenship laws are only successful at three things: blocking the right to vote, forcing citizens to pay to vote, and fostering chaos and confusion." #MILeg

This morning, we stood up against the Michigan Republicans' #PinkPollTax, which would restrict voters at the ballot box. We're fighting to ensure our elections are free, fair and accessible for ALL Michiganders. 🧵

I joined my @mihousedems.bsky.social colleagues to speak out against the #PinkPollTax. This resolution would disenfranchise thousands of voters, specifically women, who are more likely to change their name. We can’t let Republican’s set citizen’s back they cast their vote at the ballot box.

#Michigan House #Republicans today passed a resolution out of committee to force already-registered voters to pay an additional #PollTax to re-prove we're citizens - and it's more of a #PinkPollTax, affecting up to 2.2 million married women in Michigan! #NoPollTax #NoPinkPollTax #SAVEAct
