League Actions Around the Country 

The LWV of Kansas and various partners appealed a lawsuit challenging anti-voter laws passed in 2021. The laws include vote-disqualifying signature requirements and a delivery assistance ban that would disproportionately impact voters with disabilities or who live in rural areas or on tribal land. 

The LWV of Arizona was victorious when that state's Supreme Court dismissed an Arizona Republican Party petition that attempted to end all early voting. The LWV of Arizona had filed an amicus brief challenging the petition in March. 

The LWV of Florida joined partners in filing a lawsuit against Florida's new congressional map, citing both racial and partisan gerrymandering. The League and other plaintiffs argue that the congressional map, insisted upon by Governor Ron DeSantis and approved by the state legislature, was not drawn in compliance with the current laws governing redistricting in Florida. 

The LWV of New York state filed an amicus brief challenging the redistricting maps drawn by its legislature after the New York State Independent Redistricting Commission failed to submit a second set of maps as required by a 2014 amendment.
