Election Expenses. Woman Suffrage and Voting Costs Reassessed
The state treasurers of suffrage states say women voting has not raised costs. In 1916 Denver had the lowest per capita voting cost among large cities. Cheyenne showed 10 cents per capita, lower than any similarly sized city. In June 1918 New York City could vote all its women for one sixth of the cost to vote men, totaling 350000 dollars with additional 50000 for women. Chicago saw about one third extra cost for women. Women pay full pro rata taxation for election expenses despite lacking the vote for centuries.
