Who Votes More: Women Or Men?

Nearly 66% of women voted in the 2008 election, compared with 61.5% of men. As a woman in this tumultuous political climate, that's a relief for me (and my uterus) as we head into the 2012 election. But if you're in one of these demographic minorities for voter turnout (specifically in those economic ones), you might want to step up your game in the voting booth this November.

And ladies, you should probably step up regardless. We've got a lot more at stake this time around.
