The recent reports show 65.7% of women vote, 61.5% of men. As for why... who knows... work schedules more flexible due to the nature of employment differences? Which could also explain the difference in less educated vs. more educated to a degree. i would think it far easier for me to take time from work to vote than it would be for someone working construction.
Another possible reason is that there are more stay at home moms than stay at home dads? Again, making it easier to vote.
The other is the obvious... wedge issues targeting women.
in ca polls are open until 8pm, well after dark
