(19,066 posts)Don't forget, some states have same day registration. The turnout is going to be huge in those states.

against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!
The radicalized Republican party has used harassment and intimidation to force experienced election workers to quit. Election deniers have taken their places. Couple that with gerrymandering since the census and it's an assault on free and fair elections. A blue wave can overwhelm that assault.

(141 posts)Thanks, Republicans. They deliberately put the amendment .on a primary election, because turnouts tend to be so low (especially democrats, because we tend to have so few people running down ballot). Of course, they didnt guess that the USSC was going to blow up the abortion issue 2 months ahead of the election.
Next election, now, well have to remind folks to vote for retaining the state Supreme Court justices who ruled abortion was covered in the state constitution.
If only we had even a faint chance of replacing Senator Moron (aka Moran).

(58,785 posts)new registrants will vote. Remembering that the Democratic "attacks" on President tRump brought some previously passive admirers out of the nonvoter woodwork.
Pew reports that 52% of men disapprove of the repeal of Roe (37% strongly), while 47% approve (28% strongly).
Presumably more of the newly registered women than then men will vote to support reproductive rights since more women in general (62%) disapprove of the decision. But 38% of women approve.
In any case, this is not a male v female issue but a far/religious right v everyone else issue.

(58,785 posts)Presumably the larger portion of previous nonvoters registering now will be proabortion -- as is a strong majority of Americans in general -- but guessing a fair number are going to be against.
