Civil rights groups are preparing to take the fight against Texas’ sweeping voter suppression law to SCOTUS. But if the justices hear the case, the court’s conservative majority could issue a ruling that makes it even harder to challenge anti-voting laws.

JUST IN — SCOTUS has decided that Texas can proceed with their gerrymandered, mid-decade maps.   These maps failed to meet our fairness criteria because they hurt the people's voting power. Join us in telling SCOTUS: elections belong to the people, not politicians.

Thank you to the @practivistpod.bsky.social for sitting down with VPC’s President and CEO, @tom-lopach.bsky.social, to discuss the important work that we do to ensure that our electorate is representative of all Americans 🙌

With the Supreme Court positioned to gut the Voting Rights Act and legislators proposing new voter suppression laws, it has never been more important to speak up in defense of voting rights.

A @brennancenter.org report found that an alarming amount of state legislators reported an increase in frequency of violence. This violence distorts who gets elected and how they interact with constituents. It can also influence how they vote on issues ⤵️ www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

A new Montana law that required voters to add their birth year to ballots led to the rejection of votes and added extra costs and labor to counties across the state. The lesson is clear: We must put an end to nonsensical voter suppression laws. Learn more ⤵️ dailyinterlake.com/news/2025/no...

A new requirement that voters write their year of birth on mail-in ballot envelopes resulted in a TENFOLD increase in rejected ballots. Let’s be clear: adding obstacles like this will not make our elections safer. They stop eligible Americans from voting ⤵️ montanafreepress.org/2025/11/07/t...

From felony disenfranchisement and mail voting to redistricting, this week’s elections carried high stakes for election law and voting rights. See what changes were made ⤵️ boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

On Friday, a judge permanently blocked the strict documentary proof of citizenship requirements in Trump’s illegal executive order on elections. This provision of his had previously been blocked by a temporary injunction.

The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP filed a challenge noting that the redistricting process was “undertaken with precision to target Black voters in North Carolina’s northeastern Black Belt region.” Learn more ⤵️ www.courthousenews.com/voting-group...

Today is #VoteEarlyDay 🙌🗳 When we vote early, we minimize lines on Election Day, allow for faster ballot counting, and make our voice heard at the polls when it is convenient for us. For everyone voting early: thank you for doing your part! 🫶 @voteearlyday.bsky.social

A documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement for voting hasn’t passed Congress and has been blocked by the courts, so anti-voter activists are trying another avenue - asking a little-known federal agency to impose these voter suppression policies ⤵️ apnews.com/article/trum...

WIN: The 3rd Circuit rejected a right-wing effort to revive a GOP bid to block Pennsylvania from counting undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots. The majority ruled the burden imposed on voters outweighs the state’s interest in election administration and fraud prevention.

Louisiana v. Callais is not just a small fight over one state’s voting maps. It’s a test of whether the US still believes in protecting every citizen’s right to fair representation. VPC’s @tom-lopach.bsky.social weighs in on the larger context behind this case ⤵️ thehill.com/opinion/judi...
