The 26th amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18, needed only 100 days from the time it passed Congress until it was ratified by the states; The 27 amendment, which covers Congressional salaries, took 202 years, 223 days from passage in 1789 until ratification in 1992. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017, Nevada became the 36th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which guarantees equal rights to women. It first passed Congress in 1972. Illinois (2018) and Virginia (2020) have since ratified the amendment, giving it the 38 states required for adoption. Stay tuned. — PolitiTweet.org

The 19th amendment, ratified in Aug. 1920, guaranteed women the right to vote. In 2019, Nevada had the first majority female Legislature in the nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

The 18th Amendment, which banned alcohol, was unpopular with many Americans, and Nevadans were no exception. Reno Mayor E.E. Roberts declared if he had his way, there would be a barrel of whiskey on every street corner. The 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

The 13th Amendment, which banned slavery, helped usher Nevada into the Union as the 36th state. Abraham Lincoln wanted to ensure he had enough votes in Congress to pass the amendment and pushed for Nevada’s admission, despite the state’s relatively low population of 40,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Their input will help make our updates to the current standards & subsequent guidance even better. For all Nevadans of faith, including myself, this has been a difficult period. I’m committed to determining best methods for expanding in-person services in the safest way possible. — PolitiTweet.org
