An Unprecedented Number Of Women Running For Office In 2018 Has Resulted In A Slew Of Primary Victories

Washington Post

These women have won their primaries. Will they be elected in November?

There are more than 150 female candidates who are not incumbents who will be on the ballot in November. Many could make history — but most

An unprecedented number of women running for office in 2018 has resulted in a slew of primary victories for female candidates. Many of the women who will be on ballots in November have the potential to achieve historic firsts if elected.

But how likely are each of these women to win?

We used the race ratings for each seat from the Cook Political Report to determine a candidate’s chances. (There’s more on how we did it below.) Several women have been nominated in areas favorable or competitive for their political party, while others are hoping to pull off major upsets. Many candidates are Democrats running in solidly red districts or states, making a general-election victory a far more challenging prospect than their primaries.

The wave of female candidates could result in more women than ever in the halls of power. Women have never made up more than one-fourth of the House or the Senate, and there have never been more than nine female governors serving at the same time. We analyzed the candidates who have won primaries in the states that have already voted to estimate the chances of these gender proportions changing after the midterm election.

Some nastiest: She-Ra is SJW propaganda! Look! None of them look like actual women! Scorpia is ugly because of her man body!

Me: Please, go outside for once in your life, go outside and see and actual woman, what in the goddamn

Just fucking go outside

dear pro-choice community:

If you’re living in the U.S., please vote in the midterm elections this November. I know we’ve all had this preached to us lately, but it’s so so important that we stand up for reproductive rights in this election especially after Trump being elected. 

I’m living in Texas, one of the most conservative states in the country where reproductive rights are being quickly chipped away and I’m fearing we don’t have much time until this shit turns into The Handmaid’s Tale. I have friends that can’t afford health insurance, contraceptives, abortion, pre-natal care, much less have enough money for their child(ren). 

Texas has the highest maternal morality rate in the developed world.

I genuinely think that this election is our last hope we have. Please, please vote not only to save yourself, but so many others that may not have the opportunity.
