It is totally impossible to repeal the 19th amendment with one to repeal it, the only way it can be done constitutionally. The votes aren't there in Congress, the votes aren't there in the state legislatures.

It is a VERY high bar indeed to ratify a constitutional amendment.

These dudes who are yammering about undoing the 19th amendment are all upset because women are far more likely to vote Democratic than men. If they voted GOP in the same numbers, nobody would talk about it. The gender gap is real, and it has been known for DECADES, since the 1980s at least.
