Who won tonight?

Women.

We voted an unprecedented number of women into the Senate (19 and counting).

We voted for all female representation in New Hampshire.

We voted for equal pay.

We voted for women's health to remain between women and doctors, not mandated by predominantly male legislators.

Most importantly, we moved one step closer to the tipping point.  Generally it's noted that 30% representation is the threshold at which women's issues (ie democratic issues like education, income equality, health care) to become front and center and truly championed and implemented. 19 is better than 17, but still short of 30...
