Did you hear the good news from Nevada?
Republican attempts to recall state Senators Joyce Woodhouse and Nicole Cannizzaro — whom we helped elect — just hit a major setback.
A Nevada district court judge just upheld a state law that allows voters to withdraw their signatures from recall petitions, potentially removing hundreds of names.
We've had Joyce and Nicole's backs from the start of these bogus recall attempts — which are nothing more than a Republican plot to turn the state Senate red.
But this fight isn't over. There will be another round of signature verification, and this case could go all the way to the Nevada Supreme Court.
...help continue to fight this and other outrageous attempts by Republicans to undermine our women and fair elections.
Thanks,
Jenna Kruse,
Vice President of Research, EMILY's List

Our most fundamental right. HILLARY CLINTON, ONWARD TOGETHER.
Election season is exciting, David, and it's also a time to take stock of where we are as a nation. Are we paying attention? Are we coming out to participate in primaries and local elections? And are we making sure that our most fundamental right is accessible to every eligible voter?
This week, I've been traveling abroad, talking to people about how our countries have grown and changed over the last few years. I was so proud to be able to share with folks here that Conor Lamb won his race on Tuesday, thanks to the hard work of organizers and volunteers in the 18th district of Pennsylvania who made their voices heard.
But in Pennsylvania and across the country, access to the ballot box is obstructed by one unnecessary measure or another. Working to ensure that the right to vote is protected is one of the most critical issues of our time -- and that's why I'm so grateful to the team at iVote, another one of our Onward Together partners, for the work that they do.

Onward!

The organization: iVote
The organizers: Campaign veterans Ellen Kurz and Jeremy Bird
The mission: To secure voting rights for all Americans by investing in campaigns to bring universal, automatic voter registration to multiple states and by electing voting rights champions to be the chief election administrator in the office of the Secretary of State in battleground states.
The story: Founded in 2014, iVote went on the offensive by working to elect pro-voting Secretaries of State in key battleground states. Whereas voting rights groups have relied on challenges in court after rights had been impinged, or defeating efforts to further erode rights, iVote takes a different tack - 'flipping the script' from playing defense on voter suppression efforts to going on offense.
The latest: In 2016, iVote ran a petition campaign in Nevada to put automatic voter registration on the ballot. After being successfully certified, iVote is now focused on working with partners to win the ballot initiative in November '18. iVote is also working to advance several pieces of legislation that would put automatic voter registration on the ballot in more states. Earlier this year, iVote announced that they plan to spend $5 million in efforts to elect Democratic, pro-voting rights secretaries of state in seven target states of Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, New Mexico, and Iowa.
The next step: Head to ivoteforamerica.org to learn more and get involved ahead of the next primaries, then check out their new video on why fighting back against voter suppression is so important.
