#On this day in 1944, in an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) ruled that “white” primaries were unconstitutional. The case originated in 1940 when Houston dentist Lonnie E. Smith attempted to vote in the Democratic primary in Harris County and was denied a ballot.

#OnThisDay in 1916, Jeannette Pickering Rankin (June 11, 1880 – May 18, 1973) was sworn in as the first woman ever elected to US Congress. #LWVTX #LWV #WomensHistory #WomenInCongress

Join us in commemorating the birthday of Virginia Louisa Minor, born in 1824, plaintiff in Minor v. Happersett. SCOTUS ruled 9–0 in 1874 that the 14th Amendment did NOT grant women the right to vote. The 19th Amendment changed that. Her fight mattered. #WomensHistoryMonth

Here are some 🚫 MYTHS and ✅ FACTS about mail-in voting. The SAVE America Act isn't a solution to a real problem, it's a barrier to YOUR vote! Tell your Senator to vote NO on the SAVE Act: www.lwv.org/save-act

Spotted in Austin, TX today!!! ✨The Golden Flyer II✨ In 1916, two women drove a Saxon roadster they named "The Golden Flyer" 10,700 miles across America to win the right to vote. Now, 110 years later, Driving the Vote for Equality is taking the wheel again! Learn more: drivingthevote.org

#OnThisDay in 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections that poll taxes in state elections are unconstitutional. Poll taxes weren't just a fee. They were a system designed to silence Black voters and low-income Americans. NO POLL TAXES!

The DOJ is demanding Oklahoma hand over voters' SSNs, dates of birth, and addresses, w/no explanation for how that data would be used. Oklahoma refused. Now they're being sued.

LWV Oklahoma is intervening to protect voters. We stand with them.

No credible evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.
No funding for the $510M+ implementation cost.
No protection for election workers.

The SAVE Act is not election security, it's election chaos!
Contact your senators TODAY!!! (5/5)

Texas already faces serious challenges recruiting poll workers and election staff. Add criminal liability on top of that, and who would sign up? (4/5)

The SAVE Act also allows any private citizen to sue an election official who registers someone without the exact required documents. This is an open invitation for bad-faith litigation against the people who run your local elections... (3/5)

The SAVE Act creates criminal penalties for election workers who make honest mistakes in the registration process. One paperwork error, and a dedicated public servant could face charges. That's not accountability. That's intimidation... (2/5)

The Senate is voting TODAY on the SAVE Act. LWV Texas has been sounding the alarm, and here's the part that deserves more attention... (1/5)

To Protect Democracy, We Must Protect Women's Voting Access On International Women's Day, Celina Stewart, argues that women's voting rights are at risk.

“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.” ~LWVUS CEO Celina Stewart

#OnThisDay in 1918, the Texas House passed HB 105 by a vote of 83-34, which granted women the right to vote in white Texas Primaries. The bill was passed by the Texas Senate on March 21, 1918 by a vote of 18-4, and Governor William P. Hobby signed the bill into law on March 26, 1918.

On March 28th we’re coming together across the country, united to say: in America there are #NoKings. We the people will protect each other and our country, because the power belongs to us. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

🚫 MYTH: Non-citizens are voting in US elections.
✅ FACT: It's already illegal. Already enforced. There's no evidence of widespread non-citizen voting.
