Women power the vote…and beyond

For the League’s centennial year, LWVUS launched a virtual speakers series entitled Women Power the Vote, starting with Women Power the Vote Speaker Series: Defining the Next 100 Years (August 17, 2020). In our final digital event (Women Power the Vote Discussion Series: The Women Behind Our Elections) of 2020, we convened election administrators to break down the work that went into successfully running elections during a pandemic, countering participation for years to come. Watch LWVUS CEO Virginia Case moderate our panel with Florida Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee, New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way, and Chair of Mecklenburg County Board of Elections Carol Hill Williams for a one-hour discussion about how these women tackled their significant professional responsibilities with integrity and grace. #womenpowerthevote
