Tomorrow, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a major threat to (what remains of) the 1965 Voting Rights Act. But this isn't the first time the VRA has faced dire threats; in 2013 and 2021, SCOTUS weakened other provisions. We can learn from those why Callais could be so dangerous 🧵

I am an American. I am a lawyer, a mom, and a former law clerk to RBG. Almost everyone is old enough to register to vote before they graduate from high school, but most are never asked. I work every day to make voter registration part of high school life. - Laura Brill @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Great reporting here from @mapresearch.bsky.social and @voteriders.bsky.social ! We're grateful for their work!

A reminder as the school year begins. 🩵 #EduSky #teachers

American elections must be free, fair, and secure. The Brennan Center research shows that voting in person, early voting, and mail voting are accurate and secure. It’s paramount to ensure that every eligible citizen has the freedom to vote. 4/

Just in case you hear otherwise, here's a reminder that vote-by-mail is a safe, secure and accessible way that millions of Americans participate in our democracy. Any efforts to eliminate this voting method would silence Americans by restricting access to the ballot.

We are excited to announce the expansion of our capacity for high school civic engagement and voter registration in PA. Collaboration means the world. We are looking forward to working together on effective and nonpartisan programming and data-driven solutions for the students most in need in PA.

A new Substack from CEO & Founder, Laura Brill, is out today. 📣 November 2025 is about to get bigger: California is set to join NJ, PA, and VA in the group of states with consequential statewide elections less than 3 months from today. Read the full article here: buff.ly/GFOUlsM

An open letter and candidaestionnaire to candidates for Mayor of New York City from our Founder & CEO, Laura Brill: Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @jimfornyc.bsky.social, Eric, Curtis & Andrew: What Are You Doing to Ensure that NYC Youth Will Vote This Fall (and For the Rest of Their Lives)

Right now, 1 in 3 Maryland 18-year-olds is not registered to vote. Expanding automatic registration and voter education can help close this gap.

And that same pattern continues at age 18. Counties with more 18-year-old drivers have higher registration rates.

County-by-county data shows that license attainment among 16- and 17-year-olds strongly correlates with voter pre-registration rates.

A major factor is whether young people have a driver’s license. Driver’s license attainment is correlated with voter registration and pre-registration rates for 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds.

Maryland has relatively strong youth voter registration rates, but that’s not the full story. Major disparities exist between counties.

Happy to collaborate with @umd-cdce.bsky.social on this important research.

"Even states that are trying to amplify the numbers of noncitizens … when they actually look, they find a surprisingly, shockingly small number... as they get past the political season — as the candidate that they supported gets elected — the numbers go down." www.npr.org/2025/07/30/n...
