That 19th district surprise win for Dems - was powered by huge surge in women voters

https://dnyuz.com/2022/09/03/women-are-so-fired-up-to-vote-ive-never-seen-anything-like-it/


The surge in women registering and voting helped the Democrat Pat Ryan prevail over Marc Molinaro — one of the more credible Republican recruits this cycle — in New York’s fiercely contested 19th Congressional District last month. This is not the type of performance you would see in a red wave election. Among the mail and early votes cast in the district, women outnumbered men by an 18-point margin, despite accounting for about 52 percent of registered voters.

While I know some of them are probably anti-abortion, I suspect most are pro-choice, women's rights advocates.

At least I hope so, but signs are good.
