Women voters may swing 1944 election, says Miss Martin
Miss Manon E. Martin, assistant chairman of the Republican National Committee, told a postwar planning conference that women could hold the balance of power in 1944. She cited a total potential women’s vote of 83,900,000, only 389,337 less than the male vote, and noted women outnumber men in 12 states Alabama Florida Georgia Louisiana Massachusetts Mississippi Missouri New Hampshire North Carolina Rhode Island Tennessee. She attributed the lead to fewer men in military service and wartime migration shifts. In New York City, Health Commissioner Ernest L Stebbins predicted about 14,000 births this year, the highest since 1947, with 140,000 total expected for the year.
