Our event featured a game to test our knowledge of local community trivia followed by a thought-provoking presentation and discussion on voting rights. Our discussion was led by Donna Limper, Issues and Advocacy Chair for the League of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale.
“Voting rights are central to the League’s mission to empower voters and defend democracy,” explains Donna Limper. “In June 2021, more than 100 scholars of democracy issued a “Statement of Concern,” a dire warning that democracy in the United States is in peril due to radical changes to core electoral procedures. Some state legislatures are passing laws that transform free and fair elections into political systems to manufacture the results they want."
