(www.palwv.org) The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan grassroots civic organization. We encourage informed active participation in government and work to influence public policy through education and advocacy.
(15)
The League of Women Voters began formally as an organization in February 1920 in Chicago, six months before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote. The new organization was intended to be a means of teaching all the newly enfranchised women about the mechanics of registering and voting, nomination and election procedures, and our form of government. The members also wanted to work for certain "needed legislation." They thought that the League might accomplish its work in five years and disband! Over the years our mission has broadened. The League has evolved from an organization concerned with women's needs and with training women voters to one concerned with the Nation's needs and with training all citizens.

Is the Pennsylvania Supreme Court the key to controlling the Legislature? Democrats seem to think so
Politicizing the courts harms all of us. For decades LWVPA has advocated for 2 solutions with strong public support: #redistricting reform & merit selection of high court judges. Could this be the year for both?
Democratic fundraisers hope to launch aggressive campaigns for the statehouse in 2022, saying the state Supreme Court - controlled by Democrats - will ensure fair districts are drawn up.

Four of Pennsylvania’s legislative redistricting commissioners are confirmed. The fifth will decide who wins and loses | Pennsylvania Capital-Star
Four of five commissioners on the PA Legislative Reapportionment Commission were appointed yesterday. Now those four have 45 days to agree on a 5th to serve as chair, or the PA Supreme Court will choose that deciding vote.
When Senator Jake Corman speaks of a long history of bipartisan compromise, he apparently forgets the rancor of the past three decades and the sad reality that current PA house & senate districts are among the most gerrymandered in the country, despite dozens of lawsuits in 2011-12.
There's still time to enact reform with HB 22 and SB 222, but the clock is ticking.
The Pennsylvania House and Senate okayed the start of legislative redistricting this week, sparking a six-week-long race to find a tie-breaking voice agreeable to Democrats and Republicans.

Redistricting, explained: What it is, how it works, and how Pa. politicians get to draw their own maps | Pennsylvania Capital-Star
Redistricting is complicated, important, and will shape PA politics for the next ten years. The more we understand, the more we can impact the process. Here's a good explainer to share as we continue the work for People Powered Fair Maps in PA.
Redistricting and its cousin, gerrymandering, are more common terms to hear in recent years. But don’t be worried if you haven’t heard of them before. Understand them, and you will better understand the next decade of American, and Pennsylvania, politics. Here’s our best shot at telling you wh...

Today at 7 - a national discuss of voter suppression, from 1965 to today.
On March 7, 1965, John Lewis, Hosea Williams, and 600 civil rights activists were violently assaulted by Alabama police as they marched from Selma to Montgomery to insist on their constitutional right to vote.
“Bloody Sunday” ignited the conscience of the nation and led to passage of the Voting Rights Act five months later. Join us tomorrow for an in-depth discussion of “Bloody Sunday,” the rise of new forms of voter suppression, and how passing voting rights legislation in 2021 is an urgent matter of both racial justice and strengthening our democracy.

HR 1 overhaul would set new holiday and new rules for lobbyists, elections and justices - Roll Call
HR 1 passed in the House this week on a party line vote. It incorporates many values LWV and LWVPA have supported for years. There's more to the bill than this article describes, including provisions to prevent gerrymandering. Next step: the Senate and a showdown on the Senate filibuster.
The House approved a sweeping political money, elections, influence and ethics measure, dubbed HR 1, but its Senate fate is unclear.

Voter registration deadline getting further scrutiny
Voter registration deadlines are again under discussion. Since 1989 LWVPA has supported and advocated for same day voter registration, currently in use in 22 states and Washington DC. Before ACT 77, PA had one of the earliest registration deadlines in the country. In an increasingly uncertain and mobile world, it's time to move toward same-day registration, not the other direction.
HARRISBURG -- Voting groups are calling on the state to embrace a proposal to allow people to register to vote right up to Election Day, but county officials disagree.

Citizens should demand transparency in redistricting - The Boston Globe
LWVPA has been asking for a transparent #redistricting process with public input since 1991. That decade Ds drew distorted lines. In 2001 & 2011 Rs perfected the practice. We want a non-partisan solution before 2021 maps are drawn. That's why we support LACRA, the Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Act, HB 22 and SB 222.
When redistricting turns to gerrymandering, one party can maintain power, even with fewer votes, for a decade.

Counties will again be unable to process mail ballots early during Pa.’s primary election | Spotlight PA
When county commissioners from across PA assume they won't be heard by PA legislators, what hope do PA citizens have?
Saddest words yet, from an Armstrong County election director: “I never expect anything with the legislature. I’ve learned long ago not to.”
What would it take to change that?
While a municipal primary typically sees low turnout, election officials said they can’t predict how many voters will take advantage of the state’s no-excuse mail voting law.

LWVPA supports moving away from closed primaries to an open or semi-open primary system. This may be the year to pursue that in PA as legislators upholding the rule of law are threatened with primaries from partisan extremes and many voters are abandoning party affiliation.

The Supreme Court has rejected some Trump election challenge cases
Three more election lawsuits were dismissed yesterday by the US Supreme Court.

This week, we remember the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman. Currently, President Joe Biden is seeking to have Harriet Tubman’s image on the $20 bill to replace President Andrew Jackson. He said, “It is important that our notes… our money… reflect the history and diversity of our country, and Harriet Tubman’s image gracing the new $20 note would certainly do that.” #harriettubman #blackhistorymonth

Pennsylvania Charter School Funding Reform Long Overdue, On The Horizon
LWVPA has long advocated for common-sense oversight of charter and cyber school contracts and spending.
"The governor is proposing that charters be paid in line with their actual costs, and that they be audited like any other Pennsylvania school. These are not particularly radical notions, but they would bring millions of taxpayer dollars back to public schools. They would be a step toward fixing charter laws that the state’s auditor general has called 'the worst in the country.'"
Governor Tom Wolf’s budget proposal is out. It aims to inject some common sense into the commonwealth’s system of funding charter schools.

Senator Corman Says Proposal To Move Pa. Appeals Courts To Regional Elections Won't Be On May Ballot
Senator Jake Corman We agree that any constitutional amendment should have public hearings before a vote in PA House or Senate. We also agree that PA needs a solution to partisan election of appellate judges. LWVPA has supported merit selection of judges since 1949. We look forward to good discussion of merit selection bills. Judicial districts would take PA in the wrong direction.

Why Vote?
Why should we vote? Because policy determines the details of our lives: tuition rates, property tax, minimum wage, quality of air and water, school programs, how quickly potholes are fixed. Leadership decides policy and without good leadership the policy we support will not be enacted or funded. So make a plan to vote. Check https://www.vote411.org/
