We are back in court protecting your voting rights! “These voters invested substantial time in participating in this election, and they did everything right, but the city of Madison failed them,” said Law Forward’s Kacy Gurewitz in the Wisconsin State Journal. madison.com/news/local/g...

Our democracy rests on a simple promise: if you vote, your vote will count. That’s why Law Forward today filed a class action suit against the City of Madison for failing to count 193 ballots in 2024. Every vote matters. Every voice counts. Learn more: www.lawforward.org/aydabo-vs-ma...

With only this baseless narrative as justification, the Trump admin. is seeking to obtain/centralize vast amounts of sensitive voter registration information. They allege this info. should be used to confirm that registered voters are citizens. Our analysis here-- www.lawforward.org/wisconsin-vo...

“What’s happening in Texas is a travesty for democracy. The consequences affect every American. We, as voters, must demand better,” says Law Forward’s Jeff Mandell. Read the op-ed via @theProgressive #EndGerrymandering #FairMaps progressive.org/op-eds/let-v...

We are proud to stand with our clients as we continue to move forward!

Only eligible electors should vote in government elections. True. Ensuring that happens is an important government function. Also true. But does noncitizen voting actually threaten our election results? No. (1/5) www.lawforward.org/wisconsin-vo...

We are excited to announce that Doug Poland has joined Law Forward as Director of Litigation. Doug, a renowned trial and appellate attorney who has played a key role in multiple successful challenges to Wisconsin's gerrymandered legislative maps and other cases, co-founded Law Forward in 2020.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth and we are proud to stand with our client Disability Rights Wisconsin in fighting to expand voting rights under the Wisconsin Constitution. Our lawsuit is covered in this great summary of lawsuits nationwide by State Court Report @statecourtreport.org

Noncitizen voting is already illegal in #Wisconsin, but Trump-aligned politicians are pushing laws that make it harder for eligible citizens to vote. These proposals won’t protect elections; they’ll disenfranchise lawful voters who are lacking easy access to additional documents. (1/2)

Law Forward is excited to support the League of Women Voters in their Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act! Registration closes today, don't miss your chance to attend!

In 2023, Law Forward overturned gerrymandered state legislative maps ushering in #farimaps state legislative elections in 2024, but Wisconsin’s congressional maps remain gerrymandered.

Wisconsin’s elections are safe and secure. On a foundation of hyperbole and baseless fear, Trump-aligned politicians are now trying to establish barriers to the ballot box, imposing obstacles that make it harder for us to exercise our right to vote. Read more: www.lawforward.org/wisconsin-vo...

At Law Forward we wondered why, in an evenly divided state, six out of eight congressional seats are held by one party? We talked to the nonpartisan experts at Harvard’s Election Law Clinic, and we crunched the numbers. 🧵

A three-judge panel in the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday “against a Wisconsin town that disavowed electronic voting machines, siding with the U.S. Justice Department’s argument that this would unfairly harm voters with disabilities."🧵

Good news – our lawsuit couldn’t start until we got a copy into Elon Musk’s hands. That has now happened, and our case is underway! 🧵

Last week, Law Forward, in partnership with the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School and Stafford Rosenbaum LLP, filed a complaint in Dane County Circuit Court against Wisconsin’s gerrymandered congressional maps. www.lawforward.org/wbl-v-wec/

Hello Dodgeville! The Fair Maps Co is embarking on a statewide tour to gather input on the future of fair maps. bit.ly/MapsCommunityHearings 📍Dodgeville 📅 July 13 at 4 p.m. The Coalition has been hard at work drafting a proposal for legislation, and we want to HEAR FROM YOU!

After overturning Wisconsin’s gerrymandered state legislative maps in 2023, Law Forward is now turning its attention to Wisconsin’s gerrymandered congressional maps first drawn up by Paul Ryan in 2011. 🧵 apnews.com/article/wisc...

"The Court’s decision today is a crucial step in restoring constitutional balance to #Wisconsin govt. It recognizes that a small faction of the Legislature can't block the executive branch from carrying out the law” via @jeffmandell.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/wisconsin-hi...

Our lawsuit overturned the gerrymandered state legislative maps in 2023, unleashing fair maps competition. Now we want to do the same for Wisconsin’s congressional maps. Congressional districts should be drawn to empower voters, not to protect politicians. www.lawforward.org/wisconsin-vo...

We are taking Musk to court w/ @wisdc.bsky.social. "The lawsuit, filed in Dane County court, notes it is against the law to offer anyone more than $1 to induce them to go to the polls, vote or vote for a particular candidate," via @wisconsinexaminer.com

NEW: Law Forward’s complaint alleges a brazen, illegal scheme to induce Wisconsinites to vote in 2025 Supreme Court race. We’re fighting to keep Wisconsin’s elections free and fair. via @maeganvaz.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: Law Forward filed a complaint today alleging a brazen, illegal scheme to induce Wisconsin citizens to vote during the 2025 Supreme Court race.

Every Wisconsin voter deserves an equal vote in electing their representatives. www.lawforward.org/wisconsin-vo...

Every Wisconsin voter deserves an equal vote in electing their representatives. Law Forward has filed a new challenge arguing that the state's current congressional maps constitute an anti-competitive gerrymander that violates the Wisconsin Constitution.

A coalition of 100+ former judges is warning that prosecuting Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan would "establish a dangerous precedent that will chill judicial decision-making at every level" and threaten judicial independence nationwide. www.lawforward.org/dismiss-char...

“Some of what we are seeing and hearing is so contrary to our most fundamental understanding of what we believe about our government, I have to believe this is temporary and that people won’t stand for it." - @jeffmandell.bsky.social progressive.org/magazine/fig...

Bringing fusion back is a way to give a voice and provide support to those who don't feel represented by the two major political parties. www.news8000.com/news/wiscons...

Wisconsin has a history of fighting injustice. Judge Dugan is the latest example. opinion by @normeisen.bsky.social and @jeffmandell.bsky.social www.jsonline.com/story/opinio...

The Trump admin’s arrest of Judge Dugan is a power grab—but Wisconsin has fought this fight before They didn’t fold then. They won’t now. I just published a new op-ed with Jeffrey Mandell in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel—read it here 👇

The 1/3 of Wisconsin voters who do not identify with either major party deserve an alternative. Fusion voting is a way to increase real political representation and political participation. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons... via @sarah-lehr.bsky.social

Every party should be free to nominate the candidates of their choice.

The separation of powers and the rule of law are not merely words – they are the fundamental principles upon which our entire democracy rests. The arrest of Judge Dugan today by officials of an administration clearly hostile to such principles underscores the need for continued vigilance.
