The LWVWA stands with Washington State Secretary of State Hobbs of State and Attorney General Brown and many others in fighting to protect our mail-in voting. States across the American West rely on mail-in voting, and Washington state has utilized vote-by-mail for every election since 2012 (See the Seattle Times Article here).  There is no evidence of widespread fraud and mail-in voting increases access to the ballot for millions of Washingtonians.

Nationally, the League of Women Voters has joined a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s March 31 executive order.  The plaintiffs and their counsel said, “This executive order is an illegal and dangerous attempt by the Trump administration to eliminate accessible voting options and subvert our democracy by seizing control of election administration from the states and Congress. If implemented, it would disenfranchise eligible voters across the nation.”
