Women are already more likely to vote than men.
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote, was ratified on August 25, 1920. Although the gender gap has historical roots, political differences between women and men have increased in scope and shown greater persistence in recent years. The women's vote is powerful. In every presidential election since 1980, the proportion of eligible women who voted has exceeded the proportion of eligible men. The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters in every presidential election since 1964.
