Why We Shouldn't Ignore Pete Hegseth's Retweet on Women's Voting Rights

11. The only way a constitutional amendment can be overturned,

is via another constitutional amendment. The numbers in Congress and in the state legislatures repeal the 19th amendment are not there and never will be. The only way woman suffrage could ever, ever, ever be repealed is if there was another constitutional convention and they would have to start all over from scratch. It isn’t going to happen. The only reason these men are wanting to do away with the 19th amendment is simply as a means for voter suppression because women are far more likely to vote Democratic than men. The gender gap has been known for decades. Many men can be very politically stupid and vote against their own best interests. Women are far more likely to know what is that stake because they are less privileged than men are as a group. Rather than acknowledge these men vote the wrong way and should perhaps do some reflection and realize Republicans do not have their interest at heart, these men double down, especially the religious types of the so-called Christian reconstructionists.
