Women
Guardian - 80%, the percentage of
women who run elections in the US [is] one area of government that is
consistently female-dominated. It’s also an area of government that,
since 2020, has seen a persistent level of threats and harassment,
largely from those who believe Donald Trump won the election that year. Women
in elected positions, in general, report higher levels of threats and
harassment than their male counterparts, and people of color experience
higher levels than their white counterparts.Anecdotally,
women who run elections say they have encountered sexist insults,
threats of sexual or domestic violence, attacks on their families and
criticisms that they aren’t able to do their jobs.
