If you think men decide elections, you’re mistaken. Historical
data shows us that since 1980 women turn out to vote in greater numbers than
men. In 2008, 65.7 percent of eligible women voted compared to 61.5 percent of
men. Accordingly, female voters across the political spectrum expect to
influence the next presidential election and they expect genuine attention to
their concerns. Politicians should not take female voters for granted.
