ICYMI: LWV Tarrant County (TX) and partners filed a lawsuit to counter unprecedented and unnecessary mid-decade redistricting that reduced the electoral power of Black and Latino voters. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...
The League strongly condemns Texas's harmful new maps, which were designed to silence voters and rig elections. Texans deserve fair maps drawn to reflect their communities — not partisan lines manipulated to entrench power.

Democracy is like a group pizza order.
If you don’t show up, you’re getting anchovies. Or pineapple. Or worse... whatever they picked.

Voter fraud?
Girl… where?
Over 94 million votes were cast in Texas between 2004 and 2020.
Only 534 resulted in confirmed voter fraud cases.
That’s 0.0006%.
✨ The real issues? Voter suppression, low turnout, and disinformation.
Let’s stay focused and fight for a democracy that works for everyone.
