A significant number of anti-voter lawsuits were filed that sought to disrupt election administration and purge eligible voters from the rolls around the 2024 federal election. The League of Women Voters of the United States (“LWVUS”) monitored these eleventh-hour anti-voter lawsuits, including the substantial amount of voter purge lawsuits. 

Over a century after our founding — and the passage of the 19^th amendment that granted many women the right to vote — some people question why the League of Women Voters keeps the word ‘women’ in our name. 

To me, now more than ever, it’s clear that “women” is an essential part of our name — and always will be.
