If you haven’t figured out the McLean County League of Women Voters has no values, look at their Facebook page or the national organization website they mimic. This one is my favorite, they are upset the Department of Justice has proof the Southern Poverty Law Center funded organization like the KKK to keep the racist narrative alive: https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-women-voters-statement-attack-civil-rights-organizations
Why is the supposedly nonpartisan LWV president, Chad Kahl, addressing a local No Kings event? (A male is president of a women’s organization? 🤦♀️)
National Leadership should look at who is funding No Kings events, but I’m sure they already know. Try searching yourself, nobody listed actually believes in “democracy”.
The League also opposes the Save Act which is now the Save America Act. They think voters aren’t capable of showing an ID to vote. That Act would also limit mail-in voting. Last March their former president, Faith Russell, spoke at BCPA lawn rally lamenting it would make voting more difficult.
That brings me to California. Does the local LWV think results of elections should take a month or more? Do they think anyone in California or the country will believe the results? Do they think ballot harvesting creates a legitimate election? Do they think every vote is counted and every vote counted was cast by a citizen? Do they think mail-in ballots should be counted regardless of when they arrive?
It should come as no surprise the local and national group have said nothing. They must be happy with defective elections nobody will trust.
Watch the early vote leads for the non-establishment candidates disappear. Counting will continue until the results are what the “kings” of California want.
Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters will be silent. This is their version of “democracy”. Election integrity isn’t needed.
League?
The Poverty Law Center funded the KKK to keep it racist? That is the stupidest conspiracy I have ever come across. You describe League of Women Voters with an uneducated screed when you’re bored and have nothing else to write about.
The MAGA/KKK doesn’t need the Center or the League to make them racist, people like you make the KKK racist. Trump loves the uneducated.
Readers: voters that don’t bother with facts are everywhere. This is why Illinois is a failed state
@Henry
When your comments contain nothing but insults, they can be thrown away as insignificant. You offered no rebuttals or refutations. And to cap the irony of it all you call her uneducated, and you call people you don’t even know uneducated. So you’re not racist, sexist, or any of the other popular -ists, but you are a world class jerk.
@Diane
I knew your degree from ISU was worthless, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call you “uneducated.” I wonder if he thinks everyone else with a degree from ISU is “uneducated?” Either way, thinking is not Henry’s strong suit.
Do you even know what the KKK did during their reign of terror against African Americans? Lynching, being burned alive. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans were killed by the KKK. This includes the bombing of the Baptist church that killed 3 young girls.
I call your ignorance of these facts which you seem not to know. The KKK was always racist. David Duke is a Republican.
. You posting about some DOJ case against Southern Poverty Law Center is baseless.
You are so adorable
For one an Indictment is not a conviction. In fact this may never be adjudicated. Second you’re supporting the Klu Klux Klan. None less than the FBI has classified the KKK as domestic terrorist group.. ““KKK is an American Protestant-led white supremacist and far-right hate group. Historians widely identify it as one of the earliest terrorist groups in the United States, citing its organized use of violence and intimidation to influence political and social conditions,
The Klan is widely viewed as a violent extremist movement that contributed to systematic racial oppression and domestic terrorism. Modern scholarship has documented its extensive use of intimidation, lynching, and political violence, emphasizing its long-term impact on American history.”
The DOJ claiming that The Southern Poverty Law Center made the KKK “racist” is preposterous, the KKK was always racist. From its inception after the Civil War, it has been a domestic terrorist group. Absolutely everything I posted is true. If you spent a little time check your FACTS, rather than posting something that isn’t true.

You are so funny
Does this guy have anything to say other than lies?
Who claimed the SPLC made the Klan racist, other than him? No one. This is a lie.
Who stated they were supporting the Klan? No one did. This is a lie.
Not to mention, you’re ignoring the fact that the same FBI you’re quoting also says there are only about 3000 members in the entire country. 3000 is not a very scary number.
Why are you so fixated on the Klan, to the point of obsession? No one here gives a crap about the KKK, except apparently you.
P.S. – Since you’re so interested in facts (yeah, right), how about the one where the founders of the KKK were Democrats? You left that important little tidbit out. And don’t give me that party switching BS. It’s nothing but more lies.
I’m so fixated on the Klan? Gee read the blogger’s statement. She claims based on a grand jury indictment that the Southern Poverty Law Center was making the KKK racist. The Trump DOJ which has engaged in prosecutorial Misconduct in the past repeatedly regarding grand juries is presenting little evidence of their charges.
Then other readers go on rants against me pointing out I’m racist because any number of accusations against me that make no sense.
The FBI is not the same FBI of the past. Its expertise has been hollowed out. The FBI director is not qualified for his position. What’s going to happen home grown American terrorist strike? The FBI isn’t even trying anymore to stop violence.
White supremacy is real threat to this country. Mass shootings at Synagogues and Mosques have escalated. The Oklahoma bomber was a white supremest. The Charleston shooter was a white supremest. The mosque shooter was a white Supremacist. I could go on, The Southern Poverty Law Center doesn’t have to fund anything regarding domestic terrorist violence, people have a lot of hatred towards those they find inferior to them.
It takes a lot skill to remain so uninformed
@Harry or Henry (make up your mind)
Do you even know that I have a half black, half white daughter? Do you even know that she has experienced just as much racism from black people as she has white people? Black people get angry with her if she doesn’t express the same level of tribalism that they think she should be expressing. Black people, especially black men, are OBSESSED with her light skin. Because that’s not racist in the slightest. (That was sarcasm.)
I’ve seen white, liberal, FEMALE protesters screaming at black men in Newark that they’re race traitors and that they’re the wrong color, just because they were working. Do you even know that Malcolm X warned about the white liberal stabbing black people in the back? Where is the opposite race equivalent of Iryna Zarutska? What young black woman has been stabbed in the neck on public transport by a white man? Where is the equivalent of Carmelo Anthony? What white kid waited for a black teen to confront him so he could stab him to death in front of his twin brother? Are all those “teen takeovers” in Chicago and other cities white kids? How many white people are involved in brawls at Chuck E. Cheese? How about Waffle House? How about kindergarten and high school graduations? Do you even know that there are some black people that think whites were incubated in a test tube by a guy named Jakub? Why are white racial slurs allowed all over social media? Why have I seen numerous videos of blacks spending time thinking up new racial slurs to call whites?
The only ignorance here is assuming you know absolutely everything there is to know about someone just because you don’t like a small portion of their politics. That’s called dehumanizing, And liberals are at the top of the game when it comes to dehumanization of others.
P.S. – You act like the Klan has the exclusive rights to vicious and cruel behavior. They don’t. Nelson Mandela used necklacing. African muslims regularly target and torture Christians. Remember the whole “Save our girls” campaign pushed by Michelle Obama? You know why they didn’t mention boys? Because muslims locked them in their schoolhouse and burned them alive.
Don’t you DARE lecture us on how nasty people can be. It’s not a black or white thing, you ignorant piece of dung.
League of Women Voters should be renamed the FemiNazi Brownshirts. They are merely an extension of the Nazi Party in America. I mean Democrats. JK
Does anyone from the LWV know the definition of a woman.
Maybe the chair is trans.
