The recent influx in Ohioan women registering to vote following the overturning of Roe v. Wade has made the Buckey state one of the fastest-growing in the country in terms of new women voters.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Ohio enacted abortion access restrictions, tens of thousands of women in the state have registered to vote, making the Buckeye state one of the fastest-growing in the country in terms of new women voters.
"That's something that's extremely personal, and it definitely did push me to go to the polls as a young woman, because you never know what type of situation you're going to be in," Shaikh said. A study done by the New York Times and verified by WEWS found a 6.4% increase in female voters from before the Dobbs leak to after the decision. This gives Ohio the second highest registration increase by women in the country.
The state doesn't ask why people are registering, so assuming women are voting Democrat isn't fair, she added.
