“What this outfit means to me is my way of fighting back,” McGrogan said after casting her ballot at Bloomfield Middle School, in Bloomfield in Essex County.

The costume from the series, adapted fromMargaret Atwood’s dystopian novel,has become a protest symbol for women’s rights, especially around abortion. McGrogan believes Donald Trump threatens these rights.

‘I could wake up tomorrow, and this might not be a costume’

“I have a blended family. I have a wife. I have a trans daughter. Everything [Trump’s supporters] are against, I kind of check all those lists,’’ the married mom of two said, according to New York Post.

“And it’s terrifying,” she continued. “I am emotional because this is not a film, this is not a series, this is not a show. This is actually reality.”

“I could wake up tomorrow, and this might not be a costume,’’ McGrogan said of her outfit. “This could be reality.”

“I don’t feel safe,’’ she added. “And being here today, voting for [Kamala Harris], making my contribution, to my vote counting for her, hopefully she will be our next president.”

New Jersey reportedly gets 14 electoral votes in the Electoral College. Back in 2020, Joe Biden won the Garden State with 57.34% of the votes.
