VICTORY: We blocked an illegal Trump administration rule that attempted to prohibit nonpartisan civic engagement organizations such as our client, @lwv.org, from registering new U.S. citizens to vote at administrative naturalization ceremonies.

We're in Chicago this week at the NCSL Legislative Summit, connecting with policymakers from across the country, exchanging ideas, and discussing ways we can strengthen our democracy, together. If you see us, stop by and say hi! (We have swag!)

Campaign Legal Center is recommitting to the campaign for democracy we've been leading for nearly a quarter century. Not just for the next year or the next election, but for the long term. That's our commitment. That's our calling. That's our campaign for America.

Spotted at the @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hearing. 👀 @repyassansari.bsky.social highlighted CLC’s analysis on how Trump’s legacy projects have opened the door to wealthy special interests seeking to pay for access and influence the administration, flouting ethics laws in the process.

Forcing the SAVE America Act into a defense bill? Sneaking parts of it into the flawed Stop Insider Trading Act? Trump allies are trying to Trojan horse anti-democratic bills into unrelated bills because they know they won't pass otherwise. Congress should reject this scheme.

Does the president play a role in our elections? Not really! The Constitution grants states and Congress the authority to set the rules for our elections, not the president. Campaign Legal Center's Jonathan Diaz explains. #AskAnElectionLawyer

With so many blockbuster Supreme Court decisions making headlines, this one flew under the radar. On the final day of its term, the Court issued a ruling with major consequences for our democracy. Here's what NRSC v. FEC means and why you should pay attention.

The Supreme Court has carved out yet another vehicle for wealthy donors to funnel tons of money directly to candidates to help them win elections, at the expense of American voters. Campaign Legal Center's Erin Chlopak explains.

We're thrilled to share that Campaign Legal Center's own Jonathan Diaz and Valencia Richardson have been recognized by the American Bar Association as recipients of the 2026 On the Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyers Award! 🎉

As our nation embarks on its next chapter, we must not cave or concede to anti-democratic forces. We must stand up and stand firm in defense of the ideals that will allow our democracy to survive and flourish, says Campaign Legal Center president @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social

What will it take to ensure American democracy lasts another 250 years? Hear from our team on where we need to go next.

The Supreme Court's decision in a campaign finance case yesterday will create yet another avenue for wealthy donors to funnel huge donations to their preferred candidates, at the expense of American voters. @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social explains the impact of NRSC v. FEC on @cnn.com.

We're at the South Dakota State Capitol to make sure that voters in the state can cast a ballot in state and local elections without having to jump through unnecessary, burdensome hoops to make their voices heard.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan dissenting in NRSC v. FEC, today's ruling striking down a key campaign finance provision and turning political parties into conduits for big donors.

In a 6-3 opinion on presidential control of independent agencies in Trump v. Slaughter, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a huge blow to the rule of law and our democracy. 1/3

In a 5-4 opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed what the Constitution already makes clear: States have the power to set rules around mail-in ballot deadlines, and Congress has not passed any federal laws that would invalidate these state laws 1/

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissenting in today's Trump v. Slaughter ruling expanding the president’s control over and ability to manipulate independent agencies in service of a political agenda.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barret in Watson v. RNC, a ruling upholding laws in more than 30 states that safeguard voters from being impacted by mail delays beyond their control.

On this day in 2013, Shelby County v. Holder marked the beginning of the Roberts Court’s years-long effort to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. That effort has led to this year’s Callais decision, where SCOTUS dealt the landmark civil rights law its most devastating blow. 1/

The president can’t rewrite election rules with an executive order. President Trump’s attempt to restrict mail voting, control USPS and create a national citizenship database based on faulty data is unconstitutional. That’s why we sued.

The freedom to speak out and express political dissent has always been essential for the LGBTQ+ community. This First Amendment freedom is also a core part of our democracy that helps us protect all our other rights. At CLC, we’re working to defend this constitutional right.

The fight for voting rights has never been linear. Every generation has faced attempts to restrict access to the ballot box, and every generation has risen to meet these challenges. This moment is no different. And remember: Your vote still matters.

The Supreme Court allowed Alabama to use a congressional map the courts have ruled to intentionally discriminate against Black voters. In her dissent, Justice Sotomayor rightly warns that the Court’s outrageous ruling is a threat to democracy and the rule of law.

This is yet another example of President Trump rewarding loyalists with high-profile roles, raising serious corruption concerns. We flagged these risks in our pay-to-play corruption tracker when Bill Pulte was picked to lead a housing agency: campaignlegal.org/exposing-pre...

NEW: CLC and @citizensforethics.org filed an amicus brief urging the court to stop construction of Trump’s Ballroom project. This pet project is being funded entirely by private donors, many of whom have major business interests before the government, creating serious risks for corruption. 1/

BREAKING NEWS: @campaignlegal.org, alongside our co-counsel representing the @lwvme.bsky.social, is celebrating a victory for voters and the rule of law in the effort to protect sensitive voter data.

Major throwback! Before campaign finance lawyers were late-night regulars, CLC president @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social was explaining it all on The Colbert Report. Together, they showed the absurdity of our campaign finance system after Citizens United. Things have only gotten worse since then.

With Stephen Colbert’s late-night show coming to an end, Campaign Legal Center president Trevor Potter is reminiscing about his time as Colbert’s “personal campaign finance lawyer” on "The Colbert Report." Watch the full video here: youtu.be/85z_iAFja0Y?...

Today, the Missouri Supreme Court held argument in two cases seeking to vindicate the right of Missouri voters to elect representatives in constitutional districts and exercise their referendum right under the Missouri Constitution. 1/

The Department of Justice’s attempts to seize sensitive voter data — combined with the administration’s push for a national voter database built on faulty, outdated information — will undoubtedly lead to eligible voters being wrongfully disenfranchised, explains CLC’s Renata O’Donnell.
