Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Female voters in the Midwest could be decisive in 2020
Women will again be a critical factor in Michigan and in other Midwest battlegrounds in 2020. Donald Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes the smallest winning margin in the states presidential election history. The state along with Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota will be ground zero in his re-election campaign.
Michigan women are souring on Trump. A recent statewide poll found that 65% of them will vote for someone else or would consider it.

MUSKEGON, MICH. Rillastine Wilkins has worked for decades to help women become a powerful political force in this community on Lake Michigans eastern shore.
Those efforts paid off in 2018, when Muskegon County voters helped elect a female governor, secretary of state, attorney general and U.S. senator. The results put Wilkins and other women here on the leading edge of a shift that is reshaping politics across the Midwest and nationally: Female voters were pivotal last year and are top targets of both parties in the 2020 presidential race.

When votes can be switch in voting machines then no one but the cheaters will decide the outcome.

Unless you're aware of some recent change of heart from GOP governors and state legislatures?
Women voters are always decisive.

(4,341 posts)3. Maybe I didn't express myself well
There could be a million women voting for Democrats, but if the republican cheating machine throws those votes in their favour, instead of the intended target which was a democrat, then tons of women can show up to vote for Democrats but cheating will bring another result in favour of republicans.
I know GOP will not do anything to protect the vote, that is why I said what I said.
