Judge Jon Beetem has permanently struck four provisions of HB1878 challenged by the LWVMO and NAACP, finding “they are overbroad and impair a wide swath of constitutionally protected rights of speech, expression, and association.”
Read the full opinion at aclu-mo.org/sites/default/fi…
ALT The four blocked provisions include criminal prohibitions on compensating non-governmental employees from registering voters; soliciting a voter to obtain an absentee ballot application; anyone other than Missouri registered voters engaging in voter registration; and requiring volunteers who will register more than 10 voters to apply with the Secretary of State’s office.

57% supported abortion rights ballot initiative in Florida. That's strong majority support. It only failed because Florida is one of only states that requires supermajority to pass ballot initiatives. That's a form of minority rule

Today marks a pivotal moment in our nation's history as President Biden announces his support for reforming the Supreme Court.
This is a vital step towards ensuring a judiciary that truly reflects the values and needs of the American people.

Huge Win for Black Voters in Mississippi.
The judges issued their order Tuesday night in a lawsuit filed in 2022 by the Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP and several Black residents.
“This is an important victory for Black Mississippians to have an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the political process without their votes being diluted,” one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Jennifer Nwachukwu, of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement Wednesday. “This ruling affirms that the voices of Black Mississippians matter and should be reflected in the state Legislature.”
In yesterday’s unanimous ruling, a panel of George W. Bush-appointed judges sided with the Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP and Black voters, who alleged in a 2022 lawsuit that the state Senate and House maps unlawfully dilute Black voting strength. #NAACP #MississippiNAACP

The MAGA Supreme Court just rubber-stamped the right-wing strategy to suppress the voices of Black South Carolinians & make it incredibly difficult for Americans to challenge racial gerrymanders in the future.
Fix the Court. Power back to the People. unitedfordemocracy.us/press-…
