Will Getting Out the Vote Efforts Make a Difference in 2028: Has the Electoral College Reduced Voter Turnout in Presidential Elections?
REGISTER HERE: bit.ly/3DioJMh
Five times in American history, the will of the people was overridden, as the presidential candidate with the most votes did not win the presidency. Five times, millions of votes were silenced.
This is because our system prioritizes not the power of its people, but the power of the Electoral College. – LWV US
Will 2028 be the 6 th time?
This presentation will:
Provide an overview of the Electoral College and how it became part of the Constitution.
Debunk common myths.
Present the LWV One Person, One Vote Campaign.
Address the impact of the Electoral College on New Jersey Voters.
Share how League members can help advance the effort to abolish the Electoral College.

Tribute to Ingrid Reed
Long time Princeton Area League member and pillar of the community, Ingrid Reed, passed away July 27, 2024.
Since the 1960’s, Ingrid has been a dedicated member of the League of Women Voters. Ingrid spent her life dedicated to improving our democracy and increasing civic engagement. She was always an inspiration, a mentor, and most of all a friend for so many generations of League members.
We were fortunate to have known her, and to have benefited from her dedication, wisdom, and guidance.
Thank you, Ingrid

Senator Cory Booker
US Citizenship and Immigration Services - Central NJ District Office in Cranbury, NJ
The Senator joined the naturalization ceremony in the Central NJ District office on August 8, 2024 and welcomed our newest citizens. His presentation was inspiring and encouraging as he suggested that asking people for tolerance towards each other is too low a bar; we need to reach higher and love our neighbors.
