In 1982, a young DOJ lawyer named John Roberts called the Voting Rights Act "the most intrusive interference imaginable."
44 years later, Chief Justice Roberts finished the job, leading the Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights Act.

The Marriage Equality Amendment will remove an outdated ban on same-sex marriage from our state constitution & ensure that every Virginia family has the same rights, protections, and dignity, no matter who they are or who they love. On November 3, vote YES! @LWVVA

Federal courts in 19 states have dismissed DOJ lawsuits seeking private voter registration data. More than 30 such cases have been filed. With the Supreme Court eyeing the mail voting case Monday, the protection of voting rights is under assault. We remain vigilant. @LWV

It is deeply troubling that, just months before the 2026 midterm elections, voters are once again being forced to navigate uncertainty and confusion about the rules that govern our access to the ballot.” – Celina Stewart CEO LWV https://t.co/G5UXwKlzCn

Yesterday, a federal appeals court blocked key parts of President Trump's executive order, reaffirming that the Constitution gives states—not the President—the authority to administer elections, with Congress setting federal election rules. Every eligible voter matters. @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, that access is at risk. Plan NOW to Vote YES in November.

The book Unhumans doesn't argue against liberalism. It argues that progressives aren't fully human—outside the moral community, undeserving of its protections. The authors praise Franco & Pinochet, best remembered for one thing above all: mass graves. https://t.co/OEZHq8f55f

A US District Court in Massachusetts ruled: nonpartisan voting rights groups have standing, valid constitutional & statutory claims to move forward with a challenge to President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting. FIGHT FOR VOTING RIGHTS! https://t.co/MgadDDUSRE
