Democracy Docket is the leading digital news and information platform covering voting rights, elections, and the courts — from an unapologetically pro-democracy standpoint.
Covering election and democracy litigation is central to our mission. But today’s battles over democracy — access to voting, gerrymandering, executive overreach, the rule of law, and more — also play out in Congress, in the administration, and in states around the country. Through our comprehensive coverage, we’re committed to the fight to protect and strengthen U.S. democracy at a time when it faces grave dangers.
