Judicial Watch just announced a major victory for cleaner elections!
We settled our federal lawsuit against North Carolina after the state
removed over 430,000 ineligible names from its voter rolls!
[Judicial Watch]
Dear Judicial Watch Member,
On May 16th, a California court found California’s gender quota law
for corporate boards unconstitutional in _Robin Crest et al. v. Alex
Padilla_, a lawsuit that JUDICIAL WATCH filed in 2019 on behalf of
three California taxpayers.
The verdict in this case comes after a 28-day trial, and it follows a
similar ruling in JUDICIAL WATCH’S favor last month finding
California’s diversity mandate for corporate boards
unconstitutional.
Thanks to the generous commitment of our members across the country,
we are winning major victories for the core American value of equal
protection under the law!
And today, I urge you to join with us

so that we can
keep winning on behalf of the rule of law and for the American
people.

Our most recent victory came out of our challenge to a 2018 law, known
as Senate Bill 826, which requires every publicly held corporation
headquartered in California to have at least one director “_who
self-identifies her gender as a woman_” on its board of directors by
December 31, 2019. The law also requires corporations to have up to
three such persons on their boards by December 31, 2021, depending on
the size of the board.
Judicial Watch argued that the quota for women on corporate boards
violates the Equal Protection Clause of the California
Constitution…and California Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis
agreed with us!
The Court found that “_putting more women on boards demonstrated
that the Legislature’s actual purpose was gender-balancing, not
remedying discrimination_.”
And, “_There is no Compelling Governmental interest in remedying
discrimination in the board selection process because neither the
Legislature nor Defendant could identify any specific, purposeful,
intentional and unlawful discrimination to be remedied.”_
This is the second California court decision finding that quotas for
corporate boards are unconstitutional. The radical Left’s
unprecedented attacks on anti-discrimination laws have suffered
another stinging courtroom defeat at the hands of JUDICIAL WATCH
attorneys!
JUDICIAL WATCH’S legal team is helping protect the civil rights of
every American with these successful lawsuits.
But every one of our lawsuits come with real price tags attached.
That’s why I am sohopeful you will make a tax-deductible
contribution and join the Judicial Watch team today.
