Super Tuesday left the Democratic race undecided but settled the question of which gender dominates the turnout. EMILY's List found women continuing to outnumber men in every state and expanding that advantage from four years ago.


WASHINGTON (WOMENSENEWS)--Tuesday's multi-state primary raised women to a new height in any calculations about the eventual outcome of the Democratic dead heat.

Women heavily dominated the turnout in every state, accounting for between 55 percent and 62 percent of the electorate, according to a gender analysis by EMILY's List, the Washington, D.C.-based political action committee that backs pro-choice female Democrats.
