New York is a state in the West?

[edit]

In the section headed by "1878-1910", the first paragraph seems to wander off and talk about states passing sufferafe beginning in 1910-1914. This seems out of place considering the heading.

Then, it, oddly, states: "All states that were successful in securing full voting rights for women before 1920 were located in the West." Even claiming that as sourced. According to many sources I reviewed, NY passed sufferage in Nov 1917. And I'll confidently say it is not in the "West". Even the map later indicates MI had it prior to the 19th amaendent, and its probably a stretch to call the "West"

Can someone please fix this up? The information seems (a) oddly located and (b) wrong.

Thank you. 216.15.59.239 (talk) 03:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Section on modern opposition to it?

[edit]

In the legacy section, there should probably be a reference to the fact that a sizable number of American conservatives believe the Nineteenth Amendment was a mistake, and that this belief has been around for quite a while. Although it’s probably far from a majority position among GOP voters, it’s hardly a fringe view among right-wing pundits, with the likes of Ann Coulter denouncing it on the grounds that women tend to vote for more liberal candidates. Jason Whitlock has also attacked it because he said it destroyed the earlier principle of “one vote per household”. And that’s not even getting into the manosphere and its assorted figures.2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:65DE (talk) 23:58, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We'd need some good sources which specifically talk about the 19th amendment (not women's suffrage in general) to include here. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
