The Indiana House of Representatives narrowly approved a bill requiring candidates in school board elections to list their political affiliations on ballots. Supporters argue voters should know candidates’ political leanings, while opponents fear unnecessary partisanship in education. The bill now heads back to the Senate for final approval, which would make Indiana join a few states with fully partisan school board elections.
In Arizona, the League of Women Voters is fighting against President Trump’s executive order that would require voters to provide in-person proof of citizenship and identity. They argue the order will suppress voters and disproportionately affect Arizonans, including women who have changed their names after marriage. Critics say the order is unconstitutional and illegal and would make it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballots.
In Nevada, pro-worker and pro-democracy activists are coming together in a “Hands Off” protest against Trump’s policies. They are advocating for strengthening social programs and opposing layoffs of federal workers and attacks on immigrants and transgender people. The protest aims to highlight attacks on democratic principles affecting everyone, regardless of political beliefs. The event comes at a time when Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point.
Meanwhile, some Colorado lawmakers are working to protect voter rights after Trump issued an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Critics say the order would disproportionately affect low-income voters and people of color and is an overreach of federal power. The state Senate has passed a bill barring voter discrimination and is moving it to the House for approval.
