Women make up to 82c to the white male $, so in family economic decisions (such as when schools and childcare are closed) the mother tends to be the one to stay home. (@pgogoi )
This issue isn’t new, it’s just been exacerbated and exposed by the pandemic.

While votes are still being counted, it appears that 55% percent of white women voted for Donald Trump while 90%+ of Black women voted for Joe Biden.
Those numbers shouldn't surprise you--check out season 1 of Prologued to find out why.

We stopped tweeting last night because our policy curator needed sleep and because...well we don’t know the results yet!
The President declared victory, but no one has called it for him. He could still win, but he also may not. There are thousands of votes still to count. (1/2)
Here’s where the race for the White House stands now, based on the states called so far.

And even once those are counted, there is still the electoral college itself to contend with. Over the next couple days we’ll be discussing the electoral college on our social media, but we’ve got the debate up on aw-ip.org now under “voting FAQs!”
