The estimated number of female citizens ages 15 and older in each state whose names do not match their birth certificate due to last name change or hyphenation upon marriage is as many as 69 million
American women lack access to valid birth certificates and Congress is considering legislation that will make it harder for those women to vote

You are aware that the US has one of if not the weakest election rules. Almost every country requires you to show proof of who you are. Everyone in the West does. Going to the DMV isn’t hard and you do not need your birth certificate in most situations. Plenty of people do not have their birth certificates in the US I don’t have mine but that’s why you have a DL, a social security number, passport, etc.
The idea that this hurts minorities has been debunked time and time again.
A drivers license would work under this bill and it’s pretty wild you wouldn’t want someone’s ID to match their drivers license
