This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
Fascinating stuff. Sad though.
So you think that if Trump loses, theres a chance that womens right to vote will be repealed? Uh, who do you think will be running things if he loses? Hint, its the party of gun control and invasive, controlling regulations, the one least likely to repeal the 19th, if such is even possible (outside of a Moslem takeover).
