Low income voters

An article today reported that low-income voters, those earning less than $20,000, are reporting that they will vote for Harris, not Trump.  Over 71.2 million women are 18 years of age or older and employed.  Among these women, 14% (8.9 million) have a total income of $20,000 or less and do not have children in their homes (See Table 1).   Additionally, 72% of employed women with a total income of $20,000 or less and aged at least 18 do not have children in the home (See Table 2).  Furthermore, 38% (3.4 million) of all employed women 18 or over who earn a total income of $20,000 or less are mothers (See Table 1).

The U.S. Vote Foundation has dates for early voting and information on whether a state allows absentee voting.  I encourage you to visit this site or your local election office to ensure you can exercise your right to vote.
