“It is time for all of us to stand up, speak out, and demand an end to these heinous actions. No agency or elected official is above the law. Democracy cannot endure when its government uses violence to silence dissent and evade accountability.” – League of Women Voters

Voting Rights & Defending Democracy
- League of Women Voters Education Fund v. Trump (Executive Order 14248): Filed in April 2025, this suit challenges an executive order requiring documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and, as of October 2025, a federal court permanently barred this requirement.
- League of Women Voters v. Department of Homeland Security (DHS): Filed in September 2025, this lawsuit challenges the creation of databases that consolidate personal information from millions of Americans, alleging it violates privacy laws.
- USCIS/DHS Voter Registration Restrictions: The LWV sued in November 2025 regarding a new policy restricting, or in some cases banning, non-governmental groups from registering new citizens at naturalization ceremonies.
- DOJ Voter Data Lawsuits (Minnesota/California): The LWV intervened in lawsuits where the DOJ sought to compel states to turn over detailed, non-redacted voter data (including Social Security digits and driver’s license numbers), arguing it violates voter privacy.
- AI-Generated Voter Intimidation Suit: A November 2025 victory in New Hampshire involved a suit against AI-generated robocalls that discouraged voting in the primary.
- Utah Congressional Map Case: In August 2025, a Utah state court ruled that the state legislature violated the rights of voters by ignoring a ballot initiative, leading to a challenge of the congressional map.
The League of Women Voters opposes the SAVE Act suite of bills.

“From the beginning, the League has been an activist, grassroots organization whose leaders believed that citizens should play a critical role in advocacy. It was then, and is now, a nonpartisan organization.”
