We've been getting this question a lot, so we rounded up some helpful facts.” This one tweet became a national conversation, and a lot of people had a lot of things to say about it. Olivia and Jenny sat down to talk about how the tweet came to be, the backlash from the tweet, and why it’s incredibly important to keep reminding women that their vote is their vote. So, can my husband find out who I voted for? We wanted to make sure this answer was clear - and we appreciate the response from The Washington Post, NPR, Salon, Elle, Buzzfeed, Octavia Spencer, Jodie Sweeten, Christine Lakin, and many more.
