A federal judge greenlighted the Louisiana League & NAACP challenge to the state’s proof-of-citizenship law. The suit claims discrimination and calls the law unconstitutional. Democracy demands clarity, not confusion. And commitment! vote411.org @lwv.org @lwvlouisiana.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
Judge green lights Louisiana League suit against vague voter ID law. 34 days before elections. LWV

VIRGINIA stands alone in the south as a critical safeguard for reproductive rights. While 20 surrounding states have severely restricted them, we remain a vital access point. But without constitutional protections, access is at risk. Vote YES! @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social
Vote YES on Reproductive Rights. It's Your Business, Not Government's

Expanded rights are on the ballot in Virginia. ✅The right to vote, restored. ✅The right to choose, protected. ✅The right to marry, guaranteed. YES VOTES put all three rights into the state Constitution — no legislature can take them back. YES VOTES make it happen. @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org
More Rights, Not Less are on the ballot in Virginia!

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday blocked Missouri from using a newly gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterms. The Court said changing maps would “usher in electoral chaos.” People choose representatives, not politicians. People prevailed. Plan. Vote. NOW! vote411.org @lwv.org @lwvmo.bsky.social

With 38 days to go, the Supreme Court stayed a lower-court order blocking DHS from using its expanded SAVE database to investigate voters. Federal law bars systematic voter-roll removals within 90 days of an election. But individual voters can still be targeted. VOTE EARLY! @lwv.org @epic.org
Mass purges barred. Individual voters can still be targeted. LWV

Early voting is starting across the country. If you get a mail ballot, return it early—at a local drop box, if you can. If you don’t get a ballot, contact your election office ASAP. Have a back up plan. We filed the lawsuit—AND WON! Now it’s your turn. bit.ly/46tqIsD @lwv.org @lwvma.bsky.social
Here's what we did on Mail Ballots. We WON!
