If you're encouraging your friends with controlling spouses to vote, recommend early voting in person. Remind them their spouse or parents cannot find out who they voted for. They can say it was no-wait and on the way back from an errand. They didn't think about it.

Vote by mail is great, unless you have a controlling partner who demands filling out the ballots together www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

NBC News screenshot Kelly Johnson, 47, of Kansas City, said she and other Kansas Democrats talked on a Facebook page about being liberal in a red state. Some women in the state "are afraid to vote for Democrats because their husbands or their other family members are voting for Republicans," she said. Sticky notes became a way for women to participate in politics "without feeling or being afraid of having any repercussions," she said.

Nace doesn't wait to meet with the La Las to write her sticky notes. She said that any time she gets a few minutes, she writes messages on sticky notes to throw in her purse for when she goes out. "I live in a very red state, and I know women who do what their husbands tell them to do, and it's very sad," Nace said. "And so if we can give a voice to somebody who might have some fears, it would just be a good thing for them to know that nobody's going to know how you vote when you vote." Women in Republican-dominated areas shared that writing sticky notes was a way for them to get involved politically without dealing with potential backlash.

My friend moved to rural Arkansas in the early 2000s. When he and his wife went to vote, they told him that they could share a booth so that he could "help" her vote. Poll workers allow this to happen!

Related; for all my canvassing buddies who knock on doors where one partner says “we vote xx” or don’t allow access to their partner, don’t push! It may cause conflict or violence in the household.
