PROTECT THE VOTE
Nationwide push to protect the vote.
In a major win for voting rights, the US Supreme Court left in place a preliminary injunction that blocks the US Postal Service from significantly restricting mail voting following Trump’s executive order.
New Jersey recently passed the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, enacting one of the strongest state voting rights laws in the nation at a time when attacks on the freedom to vote are becoming more aggressive.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction allowing nonprofits including the League to resume registering new citizens to vote at naturalization ceremonies.
LWV condemns the US Supreme Court’s dismantling of the Voting Rights Act in the 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais.
