Hold tight! If folks vote as expected, the number of democrats who voted by mail can win it for County Executive Steuart Pittman, Delegate Heather Bagnall and Dawn Gile for the Maryland Senate. #VoteBlue #AnneArundel #marylandpride

Celebrate the firsts and bask in the relief that an election denier was denied, and a (former) white supremacist will go back home. #VoteBlue #marylandpride

Without councilmanic mail-in voter numbers the results are not as predictable. It will likely come down to Allison Pickard District 2 and Councilwoman Lisa Rodvien District 6 winning their close races to keep a democratic majority in the council #VoteBlue #annearundelcounty

We had more federal voting protections 10 years ago than we do today, due to the disastrous 2013 Supreme Court Shelby v. Holder decision, which gutted the Voting Rights Act and stripped the federal government of the power to block discriminatory voting changes. #RestoreTheVRA

The Supreme Court’s disastrous 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision left voting rights, especially those of people of color, exposed to unchecked attacks by extremist state lawmakers. It is up to Congress to restore the VRA and protect our freedom to vote. #RestoreTheVRA

On this day in 2013, SCOTUS gutted the preclearance section of the Voting Rights Act, leaving us with less federal voting protections than we had 10 years ago. Congress must restore the VRA to prevent states from enacting discriminatory voting measures. #RestoreTheVRA

10 years ago today, SCOTUS' Shelby v. Holder decision unleashed a torrent of pervasive and persistent discrimination in voting. Congress must put an end to this by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and restoring the VRA. #RestoreTheVRA

SCOTUS' 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision eviscerated the process in the Voting Rights Act that our nation had long relied on to prevent state and local officials from implementing voting changes that discriminate against voters of color. #RestoreTheVRA

Today, billboards just like these went up across Florida and Texas. Happy Pride everyone.
