Summary
Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ātoe the lineā politically at home.
A TikTok trend of women ācanceling outā their partnersā 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 wonāt 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. Wasnāt really that funny thoughā¦just sad all around.
*Edit to add - some places in the US
US election rules are extremely regional, this isnāt true everywhere.
Voter suppression is a real disease like gerrymandering.
most places that have a mail in option you can report a stolen ballot, afaik. So if somebody fills out your ballot just report it stolen from the mailbox
True, apologies. You can do this some places in the US I should say.
Ahh donāt we all love it when Republicans accuse everyone of cheating and then go out to cheat? Iām sorry you had to go through that
Can I move in with you?
Kiddingā¦ unless
Just another reason why Sweden is - on balance - a really great country.
