Results
Mostly A’s: Savvy Spirit
You’re ready to make yourself known even when others don’t quite see you. You care deeply about how our past informs our future and advocate for truth telling, even when those truths are haunting. The ways you express yourself are unique, but that’s okay. You know your hushed, foreboding, and strangely childlike voice matters.
Mostly B’s: Visionary Vampire
You’re a natural leader with a great sense of style. You know that when your community is stronger and more empowered, so you are you. And that’s what democracy is all about, right? Power. Centuries and centuries of power…in the hands of the people, of course…
Mostly C’s: Wise Witch
You’re sharp, creative, and independent. This has turned bad actors against you over the years, but it’s also taught you the importance of self-care and advocating for others. There’s little you can’t accomplish, especially when you work together with your coven. Speaking of (witch) which, have you considered joining your local League?
Mostly D’s: Voter Suppression
The scariest monster of all. You love making it hard for people to make their voices heard, whether it’s through discriminatory voter ID laws, limited polling hours and locations, illegal voting purges, or other forms of suppression. You’re not a huge fan of the League, and we’re not super crazy about you. But it’s never too late to change your ways. Maybe this year you’ll see the light?
The Latest from the League
From less crowding to more scheduling flexibility, there are a ton of reasons to vote early. We asked our staff why they're casting their ballots in advance of Election Day.
On May 16, 2023, Mary Roche volunteered as a poll worker in her county for Pennsylvania’s municipal primary election. She'd recently joined her local League, and by volunteering, she learned more about everything poll workers do to keep our elections running smoothly and ensure that every voice is heard.
Voter ID laws have long been debated in the United States. While supporters argue that voter photo ID laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud and ensure the integrity of elections, reality tells a different story. Not only do these measures disproportionately impact Black, Native, elderly, and student voters, but they also fail to effectively address any real issues related to election integrity.
