#On this day in 1944, in an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court of the US ruled that “white” primaries were unconstitutional. The case originated in 1940 when Houston dentist Lonnie E. Smith attempted to vote in the Democratic primary in Harris County and was denied a ballot.

Join us in commemorating the birthday of Virginia Louisa Minor, born in 1824, plaintiff in Minor v. Happersett. SCOTUS ruled 9–0 in 1874 that the 14th Amendment did NOT grant women the right to vote. The 19th Amendment changed that. Her fight mattered. #WomensHistoryMonth

We love to see our local leagues in the news! LWV Williamson County got excellent first-page coverage of their ERA event in the Williamson County Sun, as well as extended coverage of their long and contentious commissioners court meeting.

#OnThisDay in 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections that poll taxes in state elections are unconstitutional. Poll taxes weren't just a fee. They were a system designed to silence Black voters and low-income Americans. NO POLL TAXES!
