Public Interest Legal Foundation

We've filed the first lawsuit following the Louisiana Callais SCOTUS case. Our client alleges the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011's redistricting mandates violate the 15th Amendment and Section 2a of the national Voting Rights Act of 1965. @JBPritzker explicitly adopted racial purposes behind redistricting guidelines, namely sorting and allocating political power based on race. 🧵

PILF’s J. Christian Adams told @FDRLST: “We commend the U.S. District Attorney in Massachusetts for taking action in this case. It shows that violations of election law will not be ignored. Cases like this show why citizenship verification matters.” thefederalist.com/2026/05/21/mor…

The left got greedy with racial “set-aside” districts. The Supreme Court just took them away. Jenny Beth and J. Christian Adams break down what comes next now on The Jenny Beth Show. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Supreme Court just gutted race-based redistricting. Illinois and California are next on the docket. J. Christian Adams of the Public Interest Legal Foundation is on The Jenny Beth Show right now. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The @FDRLST breaks down the 2027 weaponized government agenda for election integrity advocates: Investigation letters from congressional committee ranking members and Freedom of Information Act lawsuits reviewed by The Federalist tip off what House Democrats are planning when they’re back in power. They will weaponize every committee they can against the leaders of the election-integrity movement. “Taken together, you see a playbook not used since Elijah Cummings and the IRS targeting scandal days,” PILF said. thefederalist.com/2026/05/18/dem…

@Motion873 @JBPritzker We don't play in state courts.

@PILFoundation @JBPritzker I support you but this ultimately may go before a corrupt Illinois supreme court so we would have to appeal to the US Supreme court

@Daveea321 @JBPritzker California was first. Our clients allege the Prop 50 map violates the 15th Amendment and Section 2a of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Thank you for your attention on this matter!

Callais made explicit racial redistricting criteria unconstitutional. If a state law requires the allocation of power based on race, it violates the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Race may not be used to draw any legislative districts unless a specific violation of the Voting Rights Act is being remedied. This prohibition extends to school districts, state legislative districts, county council, Congressional districts or any line drawing exercise. The Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011 mandates racial districts.

Get up to speed on California's Prop 50 litigation. PILF's case argues that California is violating the Fifteenth Amendment with their new congressional map. youtube.com/watch?v=kEYO49…

The PILF filings further explain the Foundation’s ideal role in the litigation: “Right now, citizenship verification is an honor system. Louisiana wants to make it a verified system, placing the onus of verification on the State using readily available information in the hands of applicants for voter registration. If Louisiana or the Foundation is successful in this action, the State will have a solution to prevent alien registration, the Foundation’s organizational mission of ensuring only eligible registrants remain on the rolls will be advanced, and the Foundation will be unburdened of its work concerning alien registration in Louisiana.”

We filed to intervene in Louisiana's new lawsuit against the @EACgov, aimed at verifying voter registrants’ citizenship status. “Noncitizens have been registering to vote in Louisiana. [PILF] has collected evidence of these registrations in addition to the evidence that the Plaintiffs have found,” reads our complaint. “Louisiana is following the path laid out by Justice Antonin Scalia for a state to properly introduce citizenship verification before the federal government. Louisiana has every right and authority to define voting qualifications, starting with verified citizenship eligibility.” -- @ElectionLawCtr

Here @ElectionLawCtr explains Callais decision: After today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais, state legislators must return to the congressional map drawing board. This time, don’t use race. The Supreme Court struck down the Congressional maps, saying that states may not redistrict to achieve racial purposes. When legislative sponsors in Baton Rouge were asked during debate on the now-overturned maps why they drew the offending map in Callais, they were honest: They wanted districts based on skin color.

Re Callais SCOTUS decision today: “The now defunct map was drawn for one purpose only – race. The Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of race. This opinion should be placed alongside other great moments of courage from the high court – Brown v. Board, Loving v. Virginia, and Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.” -- PILF President @ElectionLawCtr
