Michigan is an extreme example but the gender gap during the early vote in Michigan is over 13 points. The gap probably won't end up being that big after the regular vote but still. Michigan does have a specific abortion question on the ballot which explains the huge gap no doubt. The gap is 9.8 points for the 6 states that capture gender on their posted voting files. (GA, KS, MI, NC, CO and LA. I think Dems are in good shape heading into election day.

Michigan Total Voted by Gender

Gender Count Percent
Female 770,558 56.5
Male 592,189 43.4
Unknown 567 0.0
TOTAL 1,363,314 100.0
