Voting is a fundamental principle, and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy. Last week — with voting rights under attack — voters in Maine showed up BIG to defend that right in their state and protect democracy.

That statement is demonstrably false. When government officials deny documented reality, they erode public trust and undermine accountability. LWV believes in transparency, facts, and the constitutional rights of ALL Americans.
US citizens deserve the truth — and they deserve better.
