Like don’t get your hopes up or anything, because they could actually just be MAGA ladies energized by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade – literally the New York Times fucking included that inane caveat in their Thursday report, saying “some women may be newly energized to oppose abortion rights rather than supporting them” – but there’s been an increase in volume of new female voters registering in several key states since the decision was handed down in June.
In Kansas, 65% of new voters were women in the two months since the ruling, compared to 49% in the two months prior (100% attributable to the August 2nd ballot measure). In Ohio, 54% from 47%. Pennsylvania, 56% up from 49%. Idaho, 55% from 49%. The absolute numbers added by the surge is probably negligible overall, though they could prove decisive in Ohio where Dem Congressman Tim Ryan is posing a serious threat to what should’ve been a sleepwalk for shitheel capitalist JD Vance in the race for a Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Rob Portman.
