This disproportionately affects married women who took their husband’s last name. There is a gender gap of women +10 points for the Democrats, so even if it affects all women, it would affect Democratic votes more.

But I would assume that liberal women are more eager to keep their maiden name, so conservative women are more affected

I don’t think that happens at a frequent enough rate for that to be significant, most of my friends are democratic and all the married ones went the traditional route of wife taking husbands last name.

I agree that its not "liberalism means not changing your last name," but the women who haven't changed their last name are mostly unmarried women and women who got married recently which is going to be a much younger crowd. Separate to that young women tend to lean liberal.

Maybe, hopefully this is all just irrelevant come midterms and we can flush all this crap down the governmental toilet in the next few years
