Legislature Listens to Voters, Rejects Barrier to Voting
“The Maine State Senate today helped to protect voting rights by passing an amended version of LD 199. ...‘Maine's elections work. They are well-run and efficient,’ said Ann Luther of the League of Women Voters of Maine.”
Young voters are becoming a force in American politics, and as a result, anti-voter state legislatures are going to great lengths to add hurdles for young voters.
In spite of these barriers, young voters are energetic, organized, and ready to make their voices heard.
Throughout 2019 the League defended democracy in the courts on issues relating to voting rights, redistricting, money in politics, and improving elections.
