The LWVUS —along with more than 350 national organizations—signed a letter ahead of this week’s passage of the Respect for Marriage Act in the United States Senate. With the passage, the country received a strong message that our leaders in Congress affirm the fundamental rights the aforementioned landmark cases secured, and it also provides reassurance for couples across the country who have faced discrimination due to the Defense of Marriage Act. This further ensures that all federal benefits are available to married couples no matter where they live and ensures that states give full faith and credit to all validly celebrated marriages.

Once more, citizens will vote, by mail or in person, exercising the most basic of our rights and responsibilities. However, in some other ways, this will not be like earlier elections
