73. ACTUALLY, 'married women' according to polls are MUCH more likely to vote Republican,

Thu Mar 19, 2026, 11:09 PM

Yesterday

while unmarried women are much more likely to vote Democratic---

what they are attempting to pass might hurt their own party vote
MORE than the Democratic vote---

(with the caveat that some married Democratic women voters
might be economically less able to jump through all the hoops
which they are trying to create, for a "problem" which really
does not even EXIST, statistically....
maybe THAT is what they are counting on, but the data seems to weigh against them, IMHO)

In any case, it appears they won't be able to pass the bill,
and I think EVERYONE should be entitled to their vote,
even if they disagree with my opinions.....
