Woman's Party Says It Can Punish Its Enemies
In twelve suffrage states that comprise one fifth of the electoral college and one third of votes to elect a President, swings in small percentages could have changed outcomes in 1912. California, Wyoming, and Idaho would have shifted between party lines with modest vote changes, and no equal suffrage state required more than 7.8 percent to alter the 1912 presidential result. The same pattern holds for congressional elections.
