While millions will still vote for the Republican candidate, perhaps hating immigrants more than they love reproductive rights, the only certainty at this point is that many millions more will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. In the latest ABC News/Ipsos national poll, the Democrat enjoyed a 14% advantage with women over Trump; among women with a college degree, that number rose to 23%; among women voters under 40, it rocketed to 34%.

That, in turn, is causing some MAGA commentators to break from their usual posture of feigned confidence to outright panic.

“Early vote has been disproportionately female,” Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA and helping to lead the Trump campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort, posted on social media. “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.”

    Democrats are doing creepy stuff, too.

    From the Center for Voter Information:

    Dear xxxxxx,

    Public records indicate that you are eligible to vote in the upcoming election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Remember, who you vote for is private, but whether or not you voted is public record.

    We’re sending this mailing to you and your neighbors to share who does and does not vote in an effort to promote election participation. While we have hidden the name and street number of your neighbors to protect their privacy, these are their true voting records.

    [table showing whether I and two of my neighbors voted on the last four elections.]

    We will be reviewing these records after the election to determine whether or not you joined your neighbors in voting.

    None of this is OK.

      The center for voter information is not associated with democrats. They’re an apolitical non profit whose goal is to get more people voting.

      And yes. They are creepy. But they’re not democrats.

      I agree that’s a flyer like this could be worded a lot different to spread awareness without sounding threatening. They also send out mailers that tell candidates’ positions on topics that has been questionably factually in the past. Conversely I had received before the voting period a mailer listing all the judges of the county and their own statements, basically a consolidation of information, that was very helpful. It’s about knowing how far to go, and of course being truly non-partisan.

        I need this. I left the judges ones blank because IDK a thing about these people and you can’t find things about them online!

          Look for local paper election guides online first. They will often go into the records of more obscure races.
