Hillary Clinton, once a presidential hopeful and prominent political figure, ignited a firestorm on Thursday with her sharp critique of a Republican-backed bill she claims endangers voting rights for millions, particularly married women.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which sailed through the House, seeks to tighten voter registration by mandating proof of U.S. citizenship for federal elections. Clinton’s remarks, however, have drawn fierce pushback from GOP lawmakers who argue she’s distorting the bill’s intent and effects.
“Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don’t match their birth certificates,” Clinton declared, urging her followers to press senators to oppose it.
Her statement frames the legislation as a direct attack on voting access, zeroing in on women whose legal names have changed due to marriage—a claim that’s stirred both skepticism and rebuttals.
Republican lawmakers wasted no time clapping back, taking to X to counter Clinton’s narrative—though they had to resort to quoting her post since she’s disabled replies.
“Stop. You are lying. Read the bill. And for the love of God, stop treating women like they are incapable or idiots,” snapped Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), dismissing Clinton’s argument as condescending and misleading.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), kept it simple: “Just show an ID. Why would you not want to verify citizenship?” His point, echoed by four Democrats who crossed party lines to support the bill, highlights a push for straightforward voter verification.

Showing ID seems to work here in Texas. My wife has never had a problem, and neither has my daughter, who is married.
