Women's History Month
Women’s voices are more critical than ever. Not because history demands it. The present demands it. In March we recognize the power women hold now and the impact that power has. We are not observers of democracy. We are its backbone. bit.ly/4s4UXPu @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Last week the Justice Department sued 5 more states demanding access to their unredacted voter rolls—escalating a campaign that has been rejected by multiple federal courts and faces bipartisan resistance. The total number of jurisdictions sued has now risen to 30. @lwvus.bsky.social

Reports of an anti-voting executive order are circulating in Washington. The order would give the president authority to declare a national emergency and take control of elections—banning mail-in ballots & voting machines. We must remain vigilant. Ready to act. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
Smiling infants holding small American flags.
The League of Women Voters has joined with other civil rights groups and filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court calling out the administration’s attempt to narrowly restrict birthright citizenship to advance its ideological agenda. We object! www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social

SOTU Fact Check: It is already illegal for non-citizens to register AND vote.
Claims that non-citizens participate in federal elections are wildly overdramatized and false. It is already illegal for non-citizens to register to vote AND cast a ballot in state and federal elections across the country. Tell senators to reject the SAVE Act. lwv.org/save-act @lwvus.bsky.social

The President cannot nationalize our elections.
The US Constitution gives states primary authority over election administration. Our current election system prevents giving power to the president to elect the president. This is what the Founders intended. Don’t let anything convince you otherwise. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
