The President has no right to block election results if the wrong candidate wins. The Justice Department has no blanket right to demand private voter data. ICE has no right to intimidate voters. The law is on our side. Exercise it. www.lwv.org/blog/midterm... @lwv.org @brennancenter.org @aclu.org

This morning the New York Times warns that administration attacks on voting are raising fears it will try to challenge midterms results. That’s why we are urging you to vote early. Questions? Call the multi-lingual Election Protection Hotline. 866ourvote.org @lwv.org @brennancenter.org @aclu.org

No midterm election was ever canceled since the Constitution was ratified — not during World Wars I or II, or even the Civil War. Widespread absentee voting was implemented during the Civil War to ensure Union soldiers could vote while at the front lines. vote411.org @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

Midterms should be an opportunity for the people to hold their local, state & federal governments accountable. The best way to avoid fear & intimidation at the polls is to vote early in person or postmark/drop box your ballot today. www.lwv.org/blog/midterm... @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org @aclu.org

This administration has shown little respect for the law & the Constitution. Election Day is no longer a single day. For most states, Election Day is just the final day to cast a ballot. Most allow early voting in person or by mail. Do it now! www.lwv.org/blog/midterm... @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

Postal delivery is slowing down. Don’t let a late postmark void your vote. Your ballot can take an extra day to be postmarked and reach election officials. Return it early—or better yet, put it in an official election drop box. vote411.org @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

VIRGINIA stands in the south as a 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. Vote YES. @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social @lwvtn.bsky.social

Women won the constitutional right to vote 106 years ago. The Voting Rights Act followed 45 years later. Yet full voting rights remain an aspiration. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted 77 years ago. Human rights remain an aspiration, too. vote411.org @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org

The Justice Department plans to send about 1,000 monitors to polls in November, up from about 280 in 2022. The NAACP has sued for records asking who they are, where they’ll go, how they'll be trained & what they can do. We share these questions as a public service. @lwv.org @brennancenter.org
