President Trump, his administration and many lawmakers have claimed widespread issues with mailed ballots and fraudulent voting, but the evidence doesn’t support them. NYT explored a number of these claims and did the fact-checking we all need: https://nyti.ms/4spcxxf
The Constitution is clear: election administration is the responsibility of the states, not the executive branch. The administration's latest executive order expands the president's power while narrowing the voting class to a select few.

Last week's Democratic primary in Illinois was a "stress test, and we barely passed."

The Senate has officially started debate on the SAVE America Act. This morning, I joined @padilla.senate.gov to discuss this piece of legislation. Watch now: https://bit.ly/4sd8B3d
Make no mistake: the SAVE Act is one of the most brazen attacks on voting rights in the League’s 106-year history.
At LWVUS, we empower voters and defend democracy. Voters should not face roadblocks when it comes time to register to vote or cast a ballot. That's why we're working so hard to stop the SAVE Act from becoming law.

After a busy weekend in Alabama, I was excited to keep the conversation going last Monday from the stage at SXSW EDU in Austin, Texas. We discussed how dynamic learning about state constitutions can be.

It has been a busy week of reflection, celebration, and purpose. Last weekend, I joined hundreds of other advocates in Alabama, honoring the legacy of the civil rights movement and celebrating the leaders who continue that work today.
Those who underestimate women’s civic power will discover, as history has shown time and time again, democracy’s most resilient defenders are often the ones who have had to fight hardest to claim their place within it.

Careless and blatantly racist posts like these are dangerous for our country.
The President is halfway there. He's removed the post and now it's time to make amends with an apology.
Divisive and hateful rhetoric has no place in our society. The President’s recent post on Truth Social not only demeans two respected individuals based on their race but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes that undermine the fundamental principles of justice and fairness for all.
#ICYMI: Last week, I joined Congresswoman @ramirez.house.gov (IL-3), leaders from @commoncause.org, @lulacorg.bsky.social, NAACP & more to share our collective demands to Congress in the wake of continued killings of Americans at the hands of ICE & DHS.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring call to build a more just #democracy. His work helped propel the #votingrights movement forward—reminding us that access to the ballot is foundational to equal opportunity and accountable government.
When federal immigration officers use deadly force, it calls for congressional oversight — not silence. I joined @lulacorg.bsky.social & @commoncause.org in a call on Congress to launch an immediate and independent investigation into a series of recent use-of-force incidents. https://bit.ly/3Nu9eWE
January 6, 2021, wasn’t the end of democratic strife, but the beginning of one of the greatest ever threats to our #democracy.

#BillofRightsDay is a day to reflect on one of the most foundational documents in American history. The first 10 amendments to the US Constitution outline essential liberties and protections that continue to shape American democracy and civil life. Liberties we must protect. https://bit.ly/4rSDrOT
We continue to stand with our local Leagues and members, strongly opposing the deployment of ICE agents in any city across the country — most recently in Minneapolis and St. Paul. www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/...
In this period of turbulence and unpredictability, where many feel a growing sense of insecurity, disaffection, and alienation, I want to take a minute to honor Human Rights Day. Today reminds us that dignity, equality, and freedom belong to everyone — no exceptions. https://bit.ly/33TeJSc
