Yet more nonsense from David Barton [View all]

Found on The Raw Story - "Allowing women to vote ‘hurts the entire culture and society' "

As David Barton continues to issue lies how is it he can describe himself as and historian? It took me an entire 5 minutes of Googling using a famous internet search engine to prove him wrong.

Lydia Taft 1756 Massachusetts - voted

New Jersey 1776, voters only needed property valued at £50. Voters were referred to as he or she in the State Constitution.

Wyoming 1860, women have the vote hence the state's nickname "The Equality State". 1870 Louisa Ann Swain voted in a national election in Wyoming

1865 the 14th Amendment, the first time "Male" is used in the Constitution to describe voters.

1869 Utah (FFS the Mormon State) allowed women to vote in national elections it was not until 1887 that Congress disenfranchised Utah women as a punishment for Utah's endorsement of polygamy. After the LDS disavowed polygamy the State Constitution (approved 1895) endorsed womens suffrage in 1895 and Utah got full states rights in 1896.


David Barton falsifying history again.
