In a major win for voting rights, election integrity, and democracy, SCOTUS today left in place a preliminary injunction that blocks the USPS from enforcing key parts of a new rule that would have significantly restricted mail voting: bit.ly/4r9jwLE

People decide. Not polls. Not pollsters. Not prediction markets. Not gamblers. Not bettors. VOTERS DECIDE. That's why we vote.

Prediction markets speculate. Odds shift. Polls predict. Pollsters pontificate. But none of them cast votes. You do. Democracy is not a crap shoot.

Misinformation is again spreading that if you put a stamp on your ballot the USPS has to treat as first class. This is recycled from 2020 www.snopes.com/fact-check/a... www.usatoday.com/story/news/f...

Does Adding a Stamp to Your Ballot 'Force' USPS To Deliver as First-Class?
Misinformation surrounded one of the most controversial topics in the 2020 general election — mail-in ballots.

A prediction is not a vote. An odds-on favorite is not a winner. Results in the East can throw an election in the West. We cast the votes. Election workers count the votes. Then we know. That's democracy.

League of Women Voters of Virginia @lwvva.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Election workers can become targets of suspicion, intimidation, and threats when results don't match predictions. They are our neighbors. They make democracy work. Election workers are democracy in action.

League of Women Voters of Virginia @lwvva.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Prediction markets speculate about who will win. But democracy isn't built by predictions. It is built by millions of people—voting, participating, speaking up, showing up. Democracy is built piece by piece.

Prediction markets “predict” the winner. The odds-on favorite can make the election seem decided. It is not. Don't let market predictions replace your vote—or be your excuse not to vote.

Markets make money. Prediction markets make money betting on elections. Gamblers buy and sell election outcomes—but they don't determine them. Only votes count.

Democracy needs a foundation: fair rules, trusted institutions, honest elections—and people willing to defend them. Prediction markets merely speculate on winners. Democracy depends on us—voters—to decide winners.

In Virginia. Three Amendments. Expanding Rights. ✅ The right to vote, restored. ✅ The right to your body, protected. ✅ The right to marry, guaranteed. Virginia can put all three protections in the state Constitution. You make it happen. VOTE YES. November 3. @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org

Who’s betting on elections? The 1929 stock market crash proves how quickly confidence collapses. Today, prediction markets can turn money into influence—and influence into false election narratives. Your vote decides. Not polls or prediction markets. bit.ly/4x9xr6C @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org

Prediction markets are gaining traction & putting election “odds” alongside the news. Don’t mistake a bet for a ballot. Elections are decided by your vote. Not odds. @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org

Sixty-one years ago, the Voting Rights Act helped move our country closer to the promise of equal access to the ballot. Today, we honor that legacy by reaffirming our commitment to protecting voting rights and ensuring every voice has the opportunity to be heard.
