ELECTION INTEGRITY


SUPREME COURT
EVISCERATES VOTING RIGHTS ACT

National League Talking Points

  • On April 29, 2026, the US Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision rendering Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) effectively inoperable against racial discrimination in redistricting.
  • This decision will likely turn back decades of progress toward securing a multiracial democracy by putting district maps secured by Section 2 on the chopping block. 

The League will fight back

  • The League has been planning for this outcome and is ready to fight for our multiracial democracy, regardless of what six justices decide.
  • We will continue to fight against racial discrimination in voting and advocate for a fair and transparent redistricting process that produces the most representative maps while considering past systemic racism in every area of life that has affected the ability of Black voters and other voters of color to elect candidates of choice.
  • We will not stop fighting — in the courts, in the legislatures, and in the streets — for a democracy where every eligible voter has meaningful representation, and every voter's voice truly counts.

IMPACT ON ISSUES

PassingTorch.jpg

The Symbolic Re-enactment of the Passing the Torch Ceremony on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at the Lumberville/Raven Rock Pedestrian Bridge on the NJ/PA state line was a great success. The centennial observance of winning the long fight for women's suffrage was the brainchild of Ellen Maak.

Rooted in the century-long movement that secured the right to vote for women, the League of Women Voters has worked to foster civic engagement and enhance access to the vote since our founding in 1920.

Educate.

Advocate.

Empower.

AT 100+ YEARS

Over time our work has evolved from efforts to gain and foster women’s suffrage to ensuring that all eligible voters -- particularly those from traditionally underrepresented or under-served communities, including first-time voters, non-college youth, new citizens, minorities, the elderly and voters with disabilities -- have the opportunity and the information to exercise their right to vote.
 

Our tireless volunteers at Mercer County Community College!

NONPARTISAN

The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting or opposing  candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

We welcome women, men, young adults, and teens to join our League.

Dues are $75 per year.

   LWVUS does have a pay-what-you-can option for those on a tight budget.
