In a huge victory for Alabama voters, the state’s unfair and illegal voter purge program has been halted. The eleventh-hour voter purge program targeted naturalized citizens, especially Black and brown voters, and put their freedom to vote in the 2024 election into jeopardy. Now that a federal judge has put the voter purge program on pause, more voters will be able to make their voices heard this November.

On the eve of the 2024 presidential election, the Georgia State Election Board passed several new rules at the eleventh hour that threaten to disenfranchise voters, specifically military and overseas voters. Campaign Legal Center filed “friend of the court” briefs in four lawsuits challenging the illegal rules. The briefs were filed on behalf of Secure Families Initiative (SFI), a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of military members and their families.

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) wrote to election offices in 11 states explaining how to navigate “mass voter challenges” that threaten to undermine Americans’ freedom to vote in the November election. Laws in nearly every state allow private citizens to challenge their peers’ voter eligibility. These mass challenges are often based on faulty data sets containing inaccurate or outdated information and, if successful, can lead to voters being unjustly removed from the rolls.

Surprise! The U.S. Supreme Court issued an eleventh-hour ruling on Arizona’s election practices and it has already created confusion for voters and election officials alike. On the bright side, the Supreme Court’s ruling means over 40,000 already-registered Arizona voters can vote in all federal elections — including for president and by mail. This is a crucial victory and cannot be understated as over 40,000 voters will retain their freedom to vote in this year’s crucial elections.

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is representing two Alabama voters with past felony convictions in a lawsuit challenging a new law that could deprive many Alabamians of their freedom to vote in the 2024 election. The bill, H.B. 100, states that it will go into effect on October 1, 2024, just over a month before the election. The law effectively adds over 120 felonies to Alabama’s so-called list of “crimes of moral turpitude,” which take away a person’s right to vote.

As the “hush money” trial of former President Donald Trump wraps up and the jury prepares to begin its deliberations, Americans face the possibility, for the first time in our history, that a major party candidate for president could be convicted of criminal charges. This prospect could lead to an unprecedented situation: that a conviction on just one of the 34 charges Trump currently faces leaves him eligible to continue running for president but unable to vote for himself in his own election.

Our democracy flourishes when all Americans can exercise their fundamental freedom to vote. Yet false claims of mass noncitizen voting — dangerous fabrications which have been increasing in frequency — are often used to justify attempts to roll back Americans’ freedom to vote, to divide us, and to sow distrust in our elections. According to multiple analyses from sources across the political spectrum, instances of noncitizens attempting to vote are exceedingly rare.

In a major win for Minnesota voters, the Minnesota Voting Rights Act (MNVRA) — landmark pro-voter legislation that will strengthen Minnesotans’ freedom to vote — has passed the state legislature and is headed Governor Tim Walz’s desk for his signature. The MNVRA provides Minnesotans — particularly Black, Indigenous and other Minnesotans of color — with necessary protections against racial discrimination in voting.
