Governor Braun’s calling a special session on Nov 3 to redraw Indiana’s maps β€” before the 10-year census. Early redistricting manipulates voters and weakens representation.
Say it loud: No redistricting before the census!

🚨 BREAKING: @lwvindiana.bsky.social and partners filed suit to block new Indiana laws that unfairly target naturalized citizens and risk disenfranchising eligible voters.
These laws use outdated BMV data and violate the NVRA and Civil Rights Act.

🚨 ACTION ALERT
The America First Legal Foundation has petitioned the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to add documentary proof of citizenship requirements to the federal voter registration form.
This would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register to vote.
