Summary:

Amid rising early voting numbers from women in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—where they make up 55% of ballots cast—some conservative voices are panicking. Right-wing commentators are sounding the alarm, fearing that even MAGA-supporting husbands’ wives might be casting secret ballots for Kamala Harris.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has put it starkly: “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.” Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”

    No. Mine looks like this but more spaced out. They have signs up about phones and the room is very well monitored. I tried to use my phone last time because i had screenshotted my vote411. They gave me a pen and a paper to go outside and write them down instead.

    Edit-forgot the pic.

      That’s weird. I saw no such signs and had my phone out when I voted. It was in my hand plain as day when I walked from the ballot table to the booth.

        Guess it varies from places to places… Which is always weird from a Canadian point of view considering federal elections are handled by the federal government so the norms are the same cross country.

          Ah. Yep. Phones are okay in Illinois. Phones are not okay in Texas. Those are the only two I checked.
