Rebecca Solnit: Pastor Dale Partridge argued in a series of tweets that in a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction.

Solnit says that in marriage, the husband annexes and owns his wife's voice and rights, so that he effectively gets two votes and she gets none.

She says the far-right preacher is not alone in this argument that women should not have the right to participate in public life and act on their views and values.

The election is about whether or not women should be free and equal full citizens of this republic, Solnit writes.
