Do you think women will outnumber men on election day too, not just in early voting?

That's what I'm hoping for, that what we're seeing is an overall higher motivation among women to vote, in general, not just a preference for early voting.

And perhaps among the men who are turning out to vote, more of them are the kind of men who care about women's rights.

I'm an older white male who definitely does not want those sadly typical of my own demographic group running things.

Of course they will. Women have a very serious stake in this election. So do men but too many of us are stupid.

This is an inflection point in American history that will be more impactful than even the Civil War I think.

I've voted and my tally has been confirmed!

56 years. Frosty the Snowman’s butt white. I voted by mail. Nevada. All 5 in our house did. I have more in common with Coach Walz than with Couch Vance

Women always vote in larger numbers than men.

This time though, they are rushing to the port side of the ship in large numbers. Along with hispanics, blacks, haitians, asians, ukranians, poles, jews, muslims, the young and the old.

Oh, and lots of republicans and independents are over here also.

Not a lot left on the starboard side.
