Leaked Recording: SAVE Act Sponsor Acknowledged Married Women's Voting Barrier“I'm trying not to elevate the issue too much.” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).
A new leaked recording obtained from a private Election Integrity Network strategy call from February 2025 captures Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) – the lead sponsor of the SAVE Act – acknowledging that his bill creates a documentation barrier for married women who changed their names. Fair Fight Action has reviewed the leaked footage and determined its legitimacy. In the recording, Roy admits his own chief of staff faced the exact bureaucratic burden the bill would impose on millions of other American women – forcing her to go through “hoops” and make multiple trips to the DMV due to all the paperwork. On the call, Roy described the SAVE Act’s issue with married women’s last name as a fake “allegation” driven by people trying to “stir the pot” but appeared to want to bury the “issue,” saying, “...frankly, I’m trying not to elevate the issue too much.” Republican Representatives Blocked a Fix:On April 1, 2025 – about 2 months after Roy made the comments – Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D-OR) brought an amendment to the House floor specifically designed to protect married women who changed their names. Congressional Republicans voted it down. The SAVE Act passed the House on April 10, 2025. Fair Fight Action Statement:Lauren Groh-Wargo, Fair Fight Action CEO responded with a statement. “Let’s be clear about what this recording reveals: the SAVE Act’s sponsor knew it would make it harder for married women to vote. He admitted his own chief of staff went through bureaucratic ‘hoops’ it would force on millions of women.” “Congressional Republicans have spent months claiming Democratic legislators ‘think women are too stupid to get an ID.’ This recording proves they know it’s about cost, time, and access. Roy said his chief of staff had to make multiple DMV trips – that’s gas money, missed work, childcare. During an affordability crisis, the SAVE Act creates a new financial barrier to voting that falls hardest on women who are already stretched thin.” Share This Story to Help Spread the Word:A few media outlets have covered the story.
