UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed @ETI_now

The "yes" vote has won Va's redistricting referendum — but the legal fight is just beginning. Four Va Constitutional challenges are now teed up: THREE challenges to the amendment process itself: 1️⃣ First passage was invalid. The amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly's own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session's scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred. A Tazewell County judge found this action "void, ab initio." 2️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires that after first passage, a proposed amendment be "referred to the General Assembly at its first regular session held after the next general election of members of the House of Delegates." An election must intervene between first and second passage. Here, first passage occurred during an election cycle — not before an intervening one. 3️⃣ Art. XII, §1 requires the amendment be submitted to voters "not sooner than ninety days after final passage by the General Assembly." The timeline from second passage to the April 21 vote did not satisfy this requirement. Plus ONE challenge to the proposed maps: 4️⃣ Art. II, §6 requires that "every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory." The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly). Next stop, court. Stay tuned.

When Americans want one thing (the SAVE America Act) and the Swamp wants another (FISA 702 reauthorization without reforms), the Senate GOP should side with the people Not the Swamp So why is this so difficult?

Virginia: Have you voted yet? Vote NO on Virginia Referendum. Vote early in person at your registrar's office by Saturday, April 18. The last day to vote in person (at your precinct) is April 21.

"SB 395 moves Ohio away from a straightforward election system and toward a more complicated structure. ” — @KenCuccinelli, National Chairman of ETI @FrankLaRose @thebuckeyeinst electiontransparency.org/2026/04/14/eti…

NBC4 glosses over Rep. Russo’s blatant ERIC hypocrisy. Here’s the statement my office sent in full, and I couldn’t agree more:

This is why we must pass the SAVE America Act.

Our ability to pass the SAVE America Act is in our own hands. We just need Senate Republicans to buckle down and remain committed to keeping the debate going until the bill passes.

Well put. @ETI_now

Current law makes it essentially impossible to detect noncitizen voting The SAVE America Act would fix that Making it easy to vote And hard to cheat There’s no defensible reason to oppose it

ETI: Albuquerque Vote Signals Growing Pushback on Ranked Choice Voting electiontransparency.org/2026/04/13/eti…

 🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has issued a unanimous advisory opinion in which the Court concluded that the Legislature’s attempt to expand ranked-choice voting (RCV) to general elections for governor, state senator, and state representative would violate the Maine Constitution. This decision does not turn on whether ranked-choice voting is good or bad policy; it turns on the language, structure, and history of Maine’s Constitution, which establishes a system in which each voter casts a single vote, that vote is counted once, and the candidate with the plurality of votes wins. The path forward is clear: If lawmakers or advocates want to expand ranked-choice voting to general elections for state offices, they must do so properly through a constitutional amendment.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a federal lawsuit challenging including illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders into census totals used for congressional apportionments “Hanaway argues this practice is unconstitutional, claiming it dilutes the voting power of U.S citizens by allowing non-citizens to influence the number of house seats, electoral votes, and ultimately the path to the White House. According to the complaint, Missouri lost a congressional seat after the 2020 census because non-citizens were counted effectively shifting political power to states with larger non-citizen populations. The lawsuit seeks aggressive remedies. It asked the court to redo the 2020 census, recalculate, congressional and electoral votes, and issue an injunction blocking the counting of illegal immigrants in the 2030 census.”

“Getting this bill to the floor was no small feat—that’s real progress. Now the focus has to be on finishing the job.” — @KenCuccinelli, ETI When you see your Senator over Easter recess, remind them: passing the SAVE Act is job #1 when they return. electiontransparency.org/2026/03/30/cuc…

When Senators return home, they will hear from constituents who are tired of the Lucy-and-the-football routine and want results. Milquetoast outcomes like this don’t energize voters — they leave the base sitting at home during midterm elections. #SAVEAct thehill.com/opinion/congre…

I'm referring here to the famous Carter-Baker commission. @ETI_now

The base is tired of these “Lucy and the football” moments. The Senate was set up to act on the SAVE Act—and walked away. Recess isn’t a break from accountability. While Senators are home, respectfully tell them: pass the SAVE Act. Now.
