Blog / Last Updated:

Last night, President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union (SOTU) address. For the second year in a row, the League brought you LWV Bingo to up the stakes! Across the country, League supporters played along, using our Bingo boards to track how the President’s speech matched up with the League’s key priorities, including voting rights, climate change, gun control, money in politics, and immigration. We also live-tweeted the action!

We’re pleased that the President’s speech touched on all of the League’s priorities. Check out our Storify below to follow along see how it all played out! Thanks to everyone who participated!
