Latest numbers: Women outnumber men during early voting

Early voting numbers show that more women than men are showing up at the polls, a local political expert says this could sway the election.

Early voting numbers show that women are outnumbering men at the polls, which could impact who wins the seat at the White House, and national polls are predicting the divide could be even larger than originally thought. It is a trend that we are seeing both nationally and locally. In Georgia, women at 53.3% are outnumbering men at 46.5%, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Election Data Hub. In North Carolina, 51.69% of women voted early compared to 41.18% of men, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections. In South Carolina, there are more women than men registered to vote, according to the South Carolina Elections Commission. Political Professor Lisa Abrams from Bob Jones said this gap isn’t new, but it could be wider than previous years. She said it was about 24% difference in 2016 and about 23% in 2020. “But they’re estimating that it could be as high as 35%, and that is really high, and that would be a game changer, really, in this election,” Abrams said.She also said it’s all about the numbers. “There are more women than men in the country, so it’s just a demographic issue, you know, at the start,” Abrams said. She said women voters tend to vote on issues like health care, which has been the primary concern for Democrats this year.That is part of the reason why we are seeing more women vote Democrat and more men vote Republican, as highlighted by the most recent NBC national poll. If that trend continues, Abrams said it could mean a win for Kamala Harris. However, it all boils down to who is really showing up at the polls.She said there are more women showing up at the polls but also more Republicans, which can make it difficult to predict what is really going on.”You can poll anything you want, but it’s about who actually comes out to vote, but it looks like the gender issue may be more important than racial issues or ethnic issues, or even generational issues,” Abrams said.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Early voting numbers show that women are outnumbering men at the polls, which could impact who wins the seat at the White House, and national polls are predicting the divide could be even larger than originally thought.

It is a trend that we are seeing both nationally and locally.

In Georgia, women at 53.3% are outnumbering men at 46.5%, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Election Data Hub.

In North Carolina, 51.69% of women voted early compared to 41.18% of men, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

In South Carolina, there are more women than men registered to vote, according to the South Carolina Elections Commission.

Political Professor Lisa Abrams from Bob Jones said this gap isn’t new, but it could be wider than previous years.

She said it was about 24% difference in 2016 and about 23% in 2020.

“But they’re estimating that it could be as high as 35%, and that is really high, and that would be a game changer, really, in this election,” Abrams said.

She also said it’s all about the numbers.

“There are more women than men in the country, so it’s just a demographic issue, you know, at the start,” Abrams said.

She said women voters tend to vote on issues like health care, which has been the primary concern for Democrats this year.

That is part of the reason why we are seeing more women vote Democrat and more men vote Republican, as highlighted by the most recent NBC national poll.

If that trend continues, Abrams said it could mean a win for Kamala Harris.

However, it all boils down to who is really showing up at the polls.

She said there are more women showing up at the polls but also more Republicans, which can make it difficult to predict what is really going on.

“You can poll anything you want, but it’s about who actually comes out to vote, but it looks like the gender issue may be more important than racial issues or ethnic issues, or even generational issues,” Abrams said.
