Democracy Maine — a collab of the League of Women Voters of Maine Education Fund, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, and Maine Students Vote — has filed suit with a nationwide coalition of nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations in federal court after being stripped of an AmeriCorps planning grant.
Today the court heard oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais, a case which should be, as @imillhiser.bsky.social writes, “open-and-shut.” At its core, the case is about fair redistricting for Black Louisianans. www.lwv.org/legal-center...
