The McLean County League of Women Voters claim they are nonpartisan. https://www.lwvmclean.org/
It’s easy to tell they aren’t. Using the terminology: Defending Democracy is a giveaway they aren’t. Democracy is mob rule, we are a Republic. It’s the same terminology Democrats have used in the last few elections to con voters while they redistrict opposition to have NO VOICE in elections.
The League has wanted to create a Voting Commission for the entire county instead of having the elected County Clerk run elections outside of Bloomington. LWV didn’t want the citizens of Bloomington to abolish the completely unaccountable Bloomington Election Commission in 2018 when it was on the ballot, so that effort failed. Bloomington voters still have LONG early voting lines while the County doesn’t. Bloomington doesn’t have to be efficient so they aren’t.
“Democracy” is pushing for people to run elections that never answer to voters. BEC doesn’t. The are funded by County taxpayers. The County can’t fire anyone for incompetence and neither can the City of Bloomington voters. #Democracy
Further proof the League is partisan is on this page: https://www.lwvmclean.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=300470&module_id=565766

Who runs this organization is a secret? NO names? #Democracy
This story exposes one thing the website hides: https://www.25newsnow.com/2026/05/04/study-examining-mclean-countys-2-election-authorities-reaches-next-phase/
The president of the McLean County League of Women Voters isn’t a women:
“Our mission is to empower voters and defend democracy. Ensuring that voting is a straightforward and easily understood process encourages regular participation,” League President Chad Kahl said in a release.
Democracy must mean erasing women. Their “empower voters” has done zero to increase voting in local elections. Instead of trying to control who counts the votes, LWV should be getting more votes to count.
Take the survey on this page: https://www.lwvmclean.org/content.aspx?page_id=0&club_id=300470
I predict their “survey” will say an unelectable unaccountable commission is needed. That has been their goal for decades.
