That's probably why they are against this current push.

They aren't GOP. They are strictly non-profit, non-partisan and most of their members are affiliated with the Democratic Party.

The LWV are non-profit, so they can't be like, "Trump is such a threat, we need to toss our values out". It's illegal for non-profits to engage in electioneering.

They put up quite a fight in Texas, but the GOP ignores them.
