[Rome2000]

The Same Reasoning, which will induce you to admit all Men, who have no Property, to vote, with those who have, for those Laws, which affect the Person will prove that you ought to admit Women and Children: for generally Speaking, Women and Children, have as good Judgment, and as independent Minds as those Men who are wholly destitute of Property: these last being to all Intents and Purposes as much dependent upon others, who will please to feed, cloath, and employ them, as Women are upon their Husbands, or Children on their Parents.

Depend upon it, sir, it is dangerous to open So fruitfull a Source of Controversy and Altercation, as would be opened by attempting to alter the Qualifications of Voters. There will be no End of it. New Claims will arise. Women will demand a Vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their Rights not enough attended to, and every Man, who has not a Farthing, will demand an equal Voice with any other in all Acts of State. It tends to confound and destroy all Distinctions, and prostrate all Ranks, to one common Levell.

-John Adams

Women gained the right to vote 40 years before I was born and politics has been in my blood since childhood. It’s my number one passion—but I would be all in favor of repealing the 19th Amendment if it meant I could stand a better chance of having a strong competent POTUS!!!
Praying Trump regains ground in this tracking poll in coming days.
Also hope he is prepared for being triple-teamed Sunday and for whatever dirty tricks/cheating being perpetrated.
