The League of Women Voters wins their lawsuit against voter intimidation. This is especially good because there are a lot of guns around here.

hmm ok I wonder if this will apply to all. Back in the 2008 election near the drop boxes I used there were a bunch of black males wearing Obama shirts who were asking people who they voted for as they left the drop box area. I found it very uncomfortable and intimidating to be asked and I voted for Obama.

Imagine how the people felt in 2020 who went to drop off ballots and found men sitting next to the boxes with AR-15s.

Surely the League of Women Voters must change their name. It's not a welcoming name and implies gender discrimination. It could be off-putting and threatening to voters who do not identify as women.

You make a good point.

How about something like “League of Birthing People Voters?” — that seems a lot more Democrat-friendly these days.
