On Thursday, Sept. 19, the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn hosts its initial community meeting of the League’s 2024-25 year with “Combating Election Subversion.”

Guest speaker will be attorney Jared Davidson of ProtectDemocracy.org, a nonpartisan group that builds coalitions of conservatives, moderates, and progressives working to defend the principles of democratic government and the rule of law.

Davidson will speak about key election threats as we approach the November election.
