Per Newsweek: WOMEN CANDIDATES WON ALMOST EVERY DEMOCRATIC HOUSE PRIMARY THEY CONTESTED TUESDAY

http://www.newsweek.com/democratic-women-candidates-primary-elections-916261

Also, I worked the polls in Ohio yesterday.
In a very small, yuppy- encroached, used-to-be-rural area precinct that was stat-wise, redder than blue, whiter than non-the voter turnout was 21%

Cool takeaway from the public posted results plus my observations at the end of the day:
Every single first time 18 year old voter requested the Democratic Ballot! Mostly young women. Every single twenty something voter but 1 who I checked in declared Democrat...most of them women. Oh
and yeah, there were quite a few, very cool, very confident 60+ Liberals making their voting voices heard!
By far, mostly women

Every single new voter asked for the Democratic Ballot. All women.
And some equally passionate my-age-hippy women making their voices heard!!
