The League of Women Voters of Bucks County has announced the winners of their first student video contest. The first prize of $500 was awarded to Amy Liu, a senior at Central Bucks High School South.
“Speaking with one voice” is an important tenet of the League. The national League provides strategies and action policies to ensure a consistent message on national issues, and similarly state Leagues are responsible for a coherent state message. Neighboring local Leagues often collaborate to ensure regional issues are addressed uniformly.
It’s time to set the record straight: Voting in Connecticut is overwhelmingly safe and secure; it is administered by election professionals from both major parties. Connecticut voters turned out in record numbers for the November 2020 election, in part thanks to an executive order issued by the governor and affirmed by the legislature permitting any voter to vote by absentee ballot. But because of our state’s restrictive absentee ballot laws, this was only allowed under these special circumstances.
Senate Bill 753: An Act Concerning the Counting of Incarcerated Persons for Purposes of Determining Legislative Districts was voted out of committee this week. If passed by the CT legislature, the bill would end the unfair practice of prison gerrymandering. Please contact your state senator and ask them to 1) urge Senate Leadership to bring this bill to a vote and 2) vote “YES” on SB 753 when it is raised.
