The Constitution doesn’t guarantee any one method of voting, but it does guarantee that states cannot create rules that unreasonably burden the right to vote — especially when those burdens fall hardest on identifiable groups.

Courts look at patterns like:

• Disabled voters who physically cannot vote in person
• People without cars in areas with no public transit
• Workers who can’t leave their jobs without losing pay
• Low‑income voters who face multiple overlapping barriers
• Seniors with mobility or health limitations
• Students who live far from their registration address

When a rule disproportionately harms these groups, courts ask:

Is the burden severe enough that it effectively denies these people the right to vote?

Congress pushes ahead standard time for the United States by one hour in each time zone, imposing daylight saving time—called at the time “war time.”

Daylight saving time, suggested by President Roosevelt, was imposed to conserve fuel and could be traced back to World War I, when Congress imposed one standard time on the United States to enable the country to better utilize resources, following the European model.

The 1918 Standard Time Act was meant to be in effect for only seven months of the year—and was discontinued nationally after the war. But individual states continued to turn clocks ahead one hour in spring and back one hour in fall. The World War II legislation imposed daylight saving time for the entire nation for the entire year. It was repealed on Sept. 30, 1945, when individual states once again imposed their own “standard” time. It was not until 1966 that Congress passed legislation setting a standard time that permanently superseded local habits.

Please Oppose SB 6239 — It Reduces Transparency and Harms Washington Residents

Message: Dear Democratic Legislators,

I am writing to urge you to oppose SB 6239. This bill would require mandatory arbitration for tort claims against state and local government entities, moving these cases out of public courts and into private proceedings.

Arbitration limits transparency, restricts discovery, and reduces the ability of ordinary people to hold government agencies accountable. When the government is the defendant, the public deserves more openness—not less. This bill would disproportionately harm families, students, seniors, and vulnerable individuals who rely on a fair legal process to seek justice.

Please stand with Washington residents and reject SB 6239.

Thank you for your service.

Sincerely, [Your Name] [City or ZIP]

This is just a sample … but this is NOT what WA state should support … This state has a lot of flaws; this bill is an outright violation of Transparency and seemingly puts the right to pursue accountability for families harmed fairly at risk!
