There was some good news today— a permanent injunction fr litigants incl @lwvus.bsky.social and partners: www.courthousenews.com/federal-judg...

State election officials project confidence they'll withstand whatever Trump throws at them next; he's been crying fraud for what seems like ages and courts and most of the public have seen through it.

I appeared on CBS News last night to discuss the FBI serving a warrant on the Fulton County, GA elections office. As I note, those ballots have been counted 3 times, 3 different ways, once entirely by hand, all confirming the results over 5 years ago. www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-sea...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

A tiny snapshot of how our Houston & DC @lwvus.bsky.social chapters carry out both voter reg & civic ed support for our newest citizens. Fr @lwvhouston.bsky.social ED: "[In] 2025 for naturalization ceremonies..we registered over 14,000 new citizens." @lwvdc.bsky.social www.npr.org/2026/01/23/n...

Worth watching: www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

ICYMI: The League joined the League of United Latin American Citizens (LUAC) in calling on Congress to launch an immediate and independent investigation into a series of recent use-of-force incidents involving federal immigration enforcement personnel. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

This struck me as unusual— and now @votebeat.org digs a bit deeper into the “list sharing”. www.votebeat.org/pennsylvania...

Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage. n.pr/3YWyTJY

Congrats to Bob Phillips of @commoncause.org NC for his years of service to his state and democracy! Amazing work over the years. @commoncausenc.bsky.social ncnewsline.com/2026/01/05/b...

Naturalization ceremonies are literally the 1st opportunities people have to register as new citizens, and they have all the paperwork needed. See this oped by @lwvus.bsky.social 's @thecelinafactor.bsky.social and @headcountorg.bsky.social 's Lucille Wenegieme on this: thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Not only are Chalkbeat and Votebeat must-read publications to understand What Is Happening in education/voting, but lemme quickly tell you how amazing Jessica is. She has come to speak to our newsroom 3 or 4 times and every time, I learn something new. Our journalism is better because of her.

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...

Glad to see this Fair Maps redistricting court win in Utah by @lwvus.bsky.social and Mormon Women for Ethical Government (and partners) that promotes voter choice and voting rights. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Getting an early start to Election Hero Day happens all over the country-- here's a LTE from the Ventura County League of Women Voters @lwvus.bsky.social asking communities to support election workers this upcoming Monday-- and every day!! #electionheroday www.vcstar.com/story/opinio...

At SCOTUS FOR callais case, to defend the Voting Rights Act with @lwvus.bsky.social and many partners. Watch at 10. www.lwv.org/blog/livestr...

College students can be a key part of our pro-democracy future. Celina Stewart @thecelinafactor.bsky.social from @lwvus.bsky.social is published in @forbes.com on how we've worked with All In Campus Challenge @allintovote.bsky.social is key for a brighter democracy! www.forbes.com/sites/civicn...

So excited that @lwvus.bsky.social is going to be leading a great coalition to support and lift up election officials, pollworkers and other public servants who support elections. #civicholidays #EHD "LWV Education Fund Named Managing Partner of Election Hero Day" www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Always read @raylaraja.bsky.social and @agtheodoridis.bsky.social —-

"So it’s troubling that [the] administration would go out of its way to bar groups like the League [@lwvus.bsky.social] from doing the important work of registering new citizens to vote at naturalization ceremonies." www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

It is #NVRD today-- and 600+ @lwvus.bsky.social chapters will host more than 750 voter registration events for celebration of voter registration: www.lwv.org/increasing-v...

If you are at #APSA2025, come check out what should be a fascinating panel with @niloufersiddiqui.bsky.social, @lilymasonphd.bsky.social & Kate Krimmel marking the 75th anniversary of the 1950 @apsa.bsky.social Report!

Great to see some champions of democracy at the Capitol, talking to @lwvus.bsky.social Sens @klobuchar.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov about voting rights, elections, J6 and the future of democracy. facebook.com/events/s/cul...

Registration at naturalization ceremonies is a huge initiative at the League. If the gov’t did registration, we wouldn’t need to. Which begs thw question as to why they’re trying to stop the practice. www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...

Almost missed this effort going after gerrymandering, this in Utah, fr the Utah League and amazing partners such as Mormon Women for Ethical Government and more... @lwvus.bsky.social www.fox13now.com/news/politic...

A whistleblower complaint says that the personal data of over 300 million Americans was copied to a private cloud account to allow access by members of the Department of Government Efficiency team.

Sharing our position on this fine redistricting mess that was prompted by Texas and a demand for more safe seats- seeks to ignore the voice of the voters in selecting their member of Congress. The @lwvus.bsky.social believes that that the people need to decide, and voter protection is paramount.

The @lwvus.bsky.social and @lwvtexas.bsky.social have issued following statement on the bad Texas redistricting moves of the last few weeks— voters, not politicians should make these calls. And it is clear Texas has started this. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Texas Voters! Share your story of how this redistricting scheme will impact you or your community. Make the record clear that Texans don't want to be picked by politicians; they want the freedom to elect their own leaders.

I hope that we understand the levers of power at different levels of government- and this is not a power of a President. @lwvus.bsky.social Statement on Mail-in Ballots and Voting Machines | League of Women Voters www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Was a great day yesterday at @chq1874.bsky.social with @thecelinafactor.bsky.social of @lwvus.bsky.social kicking off the focus on global authoritarianism week with address the concerns and showing how each of us can take just one step towards a reimagined democracy.

At the storied @chq1874.bsky.social in upstate New York- looking forward to @thecelinafactor.bsky.social ‘s speech as we kick off the week on the rise of global authoritarianism. Glad the @lwvus.bsky.social could be a part of this event.

Super proud of our our @lwvus.bsky.social states are showing in ways others do not expect— this support of our Arkansas LWV will grow access to civic power in a way that will improve democracy in that region talkbusiness.net/2025/07/leag...

We are so proud to have strong leadership heading our efforts. Celina Stewart, @lwvus.bsky.social CEO, recently co-authored a piece urging women lawyers to rise & uphold the values of the legal profession during this pivotal time in our country. Democracy depends on it. We salute her! bit.ly/3Gundsp

Thread— it is horrific.

Women lawyers have shown their fearlessness in this moment— read this piece fr @lwvus.bsky.social CEO @thecelinafactor.bsky.social and brave attny @cohen489.bsky.social in Natl Law Journal!

So maddening. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

The news of the day for me is from the @lwvus.bsky.social in Newport County, RI, pushing back: "stands in solidarity with those who are heartbroken and outraged by the forceful removal of citizens of Newport County by trickery and without due process" www.eastbayri.com/stories/lett...

There is absolutely zero place in our democracy for treating a sitting Senator – for that matter, anyone – this way. I've never seen anything like this before. This is not normal, and it's appalling. Those agents and this administration should feel ashamed.

What is this?

Election day in NJ today!

Great to see the @lwvus.bsky.social Alabama President promote voting access (in keeping with where the rest of the country is headed). As I head to Alabama today, great to see this support for a change. alabamareflector.com/2025/06/10/v...

I wrote this analysis for @justsecurity.org on the Trump Admin's retreat from voting rights enforcement and its efforts to restrict access to the ballot. The piece details 8 cases DOJ has dropped. It also discusses a new legal strategy to undermine the Voting Rights Act.

Great historical piece about impact on women, League work, esp on the SAVE Act and the implication for women (and voters) to solve a problem that does not exist in any meaningful way-- @lwvus.bsky.social Thanks to @phdrachel.bsky.social for writing this! time.com/7280834/save...
