    This has been said before, but I am skeptical that this is a realistic risk.

    Married women vote R over D by about 15-20 points according to most polls, and I kinda trust Republicans to not shoot themselves in the dick.

      most of them vote according to thier husbands wishes. even my parents do this, always relegate voting to the man of the house, they arnt R voters though.

        Most women married to Rs are themselves going to be Rs. It’s just as accurate to say that most husbands are voting according to the wife’s wishes.

        All married women, regardless of race.

        Edit: I’m sure it’s different if broken down by race, but I don’t know how because I haven’t seen the numbers. However I wouldn’t be surprised to see marriage and conservatism generally track on a societal level regardless of other factors.
