New Jersey voters
Title
New Jersey voters
Description
One of the original 13 states let some women vote. Some doubted women actually did so. 🤣 @jennyschuessler has the receipts, thread👇 But you have to read her whole article (linked below) for my favorite detail...Â
Historians have long puzzled over ‘the NJ exception.’ How did this happen? And how many women actually *did* vote? Newspapers of the period were filled with hot debate over incompetent ‘petticoat electors.’ But weirdly, there was virtually no direct evidence of women voting 🤔...
