Summary

Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ‘toe the line’ politically at home.

A TikTok trend of women “canceling out” their partners’ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

    Here in Sweden, you can change your vote even if it is mailed in.

    If you vote in person on election day, your earlier vote won’t be counted

      You can do that in the US*. My ex had to do it when her dad stole her ballot in 2016 and voted for Trump.

      We got the last laugh, though. He was a massive anti masker and then died of COVID. Wasn’t really that funny though…just sad all around.
