LWVNC President Jo Nicholas wrote a letter to the editor regarding the For the People Act that was published in the News & Observer. It reads: 

"More than 250 bills designed to limit voting have been introduced in recent weeks in over 40 states. This is a dangerous assault on democracy that follows an election in which record numbers voted.

The League of Women Voters of North Carolina is determined not to lose ground by seeing millions of voters denied access to the ballot box. We urge the Senate to pass the For the People Act, which would protect the right to vote, end gerrymandering, and restore transparency and accountability. It has strong bipartisan support among citizens."
