"The women of the United States have been waiting for more than a century to see the Equal Rights Amendment made part of the Constitution. They have waited long enough. It is time for President Joe Biden to act," writes LWV Chicago president Jane Ruby.

Gender equality shouldn’t wait any longer! We’ve met all requirements for the Equal Rights Amendment to be part of the Constitution.

It's time for President Biden to make history. Tell POTUS to publish the ERA now: https://t.co/dA2AQqIMVl #ERANow

Here are five election disinformation trends you should expect -- and warn others not to fall for:
1. Raw video voting/polls.
2. Vote totals will jump.
3. Premature claims of victory.
4. Last-minute AI-generated images/videos.
5. Partisan claims of fraud.

Just a reminder! 📅 Ballots for Vote by Mail and Early Voting can be processed early, but the actual counting of those votes happens only after the polls close on Election Day. Every vote matters! #ElectionInfo #VoteByMail #CivicEngagement

❌ NO: This does not show someone destroying legit ballots for the election with votes for former President Donald Trump in Bucks County, PA. The county's Board of Elections & Republican Committee confirmed the video is fake & the ballots aren't authentic: https://t.co/9e8453F7bS

The League of Women Voters of the United States condemns the racist and sexist statements made during former President Donald Trump’s recent campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York.

❌ NO: This is not Dominion Voting’s genuine logo or slogan. The company has long been a target of misinformation spreaders. This altered logo, for example, 1st circulated during the 2020 presidential election.
