Today, #SCOTUS will share decisions for two cases that directly impact the freedom to vote and ensuring transparency in campaign finance: Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, and Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta.

Here's what's at issue:

Let's start with Brnovich v. DNC.

The outcome of this case will determine if Section 2 of the #VotingRightsAct, which provides protection against racial discrimination in voting, is still a viable tool for protecting the freedom to vote.

As @PaulSmithCLC & @JaydenHohnson wrote in a recent analysis: "The Brnovich case is an opportunity for the Court to make clear that the VRA leaves no room for racial disadvantage in our elections, and that the importance of democratic equality rises above the political fray."

For a deeper dive into the implications of the Brnovich v. DNC #SCOTUS case, check out @cgfromdc's update here: campaignlegal.org/update/supreme…

Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta is a case about the constitutionality of CA’s confidential tax reporting law. We urge #SCOTUS to uphold its own well-established precedents endorsing voters’ right to know who is spending money to influence our elections & government.

We need more transparency around who is funding political campaigns in our democracy, not less.

That's why CLC urged #SCOTUS to reject Americans for Prosperity Foundation's challenge to the California disclosure law in a recent update.
