Key Contests This November That Will Shape the Future of Democracy

[RandySF]

Virginia’s gubernatorial race - Virginia’s race for governor between U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) could determine whether the state will continue to let a single executive decide who can vote.


New Jersey’s gubernatorial race - Their choice could help shape how open and fair elections can be in a state long shaped by partisan gatekeepers.


Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court election - Anti-voting activists aligned with the Republican State Leadership Committee are already investing heavily in digital ads pressuring voters to reject the justices, labeling them “radical liberal judges.”


California’s redistricting ballot measure - In California, voters will be asked to let their legislature temporarily redraw congressional maps, bypassing the state’s independent commission, in response to Republican power grabs in other states.


Maine’s anti-voting ballot measure - Question 1 on the November ballot would impose strict photo ID requirements not only for in-person voting but also for absentee ballots.


Texas’ noncitizen voting amendment - While the measure is mostly symbolic, it aims to preempt any Texas municipality from experimenting with noncitizen voting, as some local governments in other states have.
