This is a violation of the #TwentySixthAmendment. I joined @marceelias on behalf of @LWVFlorida & @AndrewGoodmanF to overturn (and keep overturned) a ban on early voting polling places on campuses. It should not be so damn hard for youth voters to elect their representatives.
This is election interference by one of DeSantis’s minions @OCFElections who is actively suppressing youth voter turnout at the University of Central Florida. This is the line to early vote right now it’s 2-3 hours long and it’s about to rain.
Previously, the state was trying to ban early voting on college campuses for which it was sued and forced to allow it now- they’re just making it extremely time-consuming to vote on college campuses.
TODAY! Join us at 12pm EST for a discussion on youth political power, featuring youth democracy practitioners from across the country. #YouthVote #TwentySixthAmendment

Excited to see my first substack, focused on the cutting edge legal volume just published by @RutgersLaw @RutgersLRev with novel contributing articles on the #TwentySixthAmendment and #YouthVote! Check it out ⤵️
It is unconstitutional to discriminate against voters on account of their age...
...so why do such extreme age-based disparities persist in American elections?
@YaelBromberg has an *essential* article out today about the 26th Amendment. 👇

I don't know how many times I need to say this, but the #TwentySixthAmendment was a wildly popular 👏 bipartisan 👏 effort. Youth Voter Suppression is not anti-Democrat, it is anti-Democracy. And, there's room for improvement for #YouthVote across both sides of the aisle.
New: Vivek Ramaswamy is facing backlash from some young Republicans over his proposal to raise the voting age to 25.
Some young GOP voters compare it to Jim Crow and call it disenfranchisement, and others say it will push Gen Z further towards Democrats. https://t.co/aX83pssoVX
I'm so sad to say goodbye to my brilliant @RutgersLaw
students as we wrap up in International Human Rights Law Clinic & my course Election Law & Political Process! A strong academic year, including publication of the 1st legal volume on #TwentySixthAmendment by @RutgersLRev🙌
I have so much to say about this. #TwentySixthAmendment
.@DukeSanford Prof. Gunther Peck & his Bass undergrad students analyze how the critical fail safe of provisional ballots escapes #YouthVoters, including youth of color, & how we can work to improve systemic flaws. In the first law volume dedicated to the #TwentySixthAmendment ⬇️
Systemic racism & the failures of provisional ballots are eroding voter access & confidence, esp. for college students, when they should be serving as a failsafe to protect their vote. How to address this? Read for more https://t.co/aE3jYREOzq
.@JoshuaADouglas on 👏 "State Constitutions and #YouthVoting Rights" 👏 in the first-ever legal volume dedicated to the #TwentySixthAmendment 👏👏
Joshua A. Douglas argues that courts have limited the reach of the 26th Amendment, allowing complex state rules to curtail people from exercising their right to vote. He suggests that courts should read state constitutional language as offering greater voting rights protection.
Love seeing the hubbub around the ⭐first-ever⭐ legal volume dedicated to the #TwentySixthAmendment, featuring brilliant voices from across the country including @Perry_Grossman & @acepedaderieux of @NYCLU & @ACLU ⤵️ More soon ... #YouthVote
That's why the voting age was dropped to 18 in the first place. #KnowYourHistory #TwentySixthAmendment
The #TwentySixthAmendment has so much promise, and its legislative history is rich. The nation came together across partisan lines in recognition of the fundamental role that youth play in protecting democracy.
My first piece in @TeenVogue just published! It was an honor to work with SHERO offices of @SenWarren & @RepNikema to craft the #YouthVotingRightsAct to enact the promise of the #TwentySixthAmendment. #YouthVote https://t.co/8YqB7UEw0w
The bill expands legal enforcement of the #TwentySixthAmendment, which granted 18 years-olds the right to vote. It also requires public colleges and universities to provide voter registration services (@allintovote can help you with this)!
This week, @SenWarren & @NikemaWilliams
introduced the #YouthVotingRightsAct. This comprehensive legislation enforces the #TwentySixthAmendment and expands youth access to voting. Here’s what you need to know 🧵
“I’m proud to cosponsor the #YouthVotingRightsAct, which contains crucial provisions that will close the gap in voting rates between younger and older Americans, and ensure the promises of our Constitution are universally fulfilled," Sen. @RonWyden said. #TwentySixthAmendment
NJ Secretary of State Tahesha Way @SecretaryWay, incoming Pres. of @NASSorg, on how NJ facilitated historic turnout and boasts the *highest* youth rates in the nation. @RutgersLRev 2022 Symposium on the #TwentySixthAmendment as we celebrate its 50th Anniversary at @RutgersLaw.
We are now onto Panel 2, featuring the original architects of the #TwentySixthAmendment in 1971: Patricia Keefer, then youth core organizer, & Jason Berman, former Chief of Staff to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who ratified the 25th & 26th Amendments & Title IX.
.@abfrancois: "When we examine Yael's [my] work, she tells us that we cannot textually gerrymander ourselves out of the constitutional right established by the #TwentySixthAmendment. We must avail ourselves of different legal standards to analyze the right." #YouthVotingRights
"We are in a moment & era of unprecedented activism. We come to this @RutgersLaw symposium mindful that we have history on our back. The #TwentySixthAmendment must be supported by intergenerational equipping, training, and educating our young leaders." @CornellWBrooks #YouthVote
