We are deeply disappointed by the State Department's Environmental Impact Statement report on the Keystone XL Pipeline project. We urge President Obama to protect people, not polluters.

“There are many good recommendations in this report and others that we will need to look at more closely to examine the real impact on American voters,” said League President Elisabeth MacNamara.
LWVUS, LWVAZ and LWVKS applaud the decision by the EAC to reject requests from the states of Arizona and Kansas to modify the national mail-in voter registration form to require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship.
The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 protects the rights of all voters from discrimination and repairs the damage to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 inflicted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2014, we hope to build upon our recent victories protecting the right to vote and focus on proactive election reforms, while also continuing to battle back against attacks on voting rights at the local, state and national levels.
