"For Climate Voters, The Future Is Female" [1]

"The Supreme Court’s explosive decision on abortion rights may trigger a secondary boom of climate voters in the midterm election by driving more women to the polls.

Election officials have reported a surge in female voter registration in the nearly 12 weeks since the high court decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The June 24 ruling reversed decades of legal protection for abortion rights and prompted at least 17 states to ban or restrict the procedure.

Since then women have registered to vote in droves across the country, including in key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, according to research from TargetSmart, a data and polling firm. In many states, Democrats have a clear advantage over Republicans in signing up new registrants."
