Ad sparks debate as polling shows women voting secretly against partners' choices

dailykos.com

A progressive evangelical group's ad encouraging women to vote secretly for Kamala Harris has sparked backlash from Republicans. Critics, including Fox News personalities, argue that this undermines traditional family roles and equate it to cheating. New polling from YouGov reveals that 12% of women have voted differently than their partners without disclosure. This trend highlights a growing gender gap in voting, with women increasingly supporting Harris, especially in response to abortion rights issues. Democrats are targeting married women, who largely supported Trump in 2020, to expand this gender gap. A grassroots movement is also encouraging women to remember their votes are private, further intensifying Republican criticism.
