Our WORK

Protecting Elections

Democracy relies on free and fair elections. Election subversion is on the rise—from attempts to throw out ballots, discredit results, and manipulate electoral outcomes. These attacks aim to destabilize our democratic process and sow public distrust.

We work across party lines to combat these threats through collaborating with community-led state and local partners, funding critical efforts on the ground to protect elections, and running bespoke campaigns designed to defeat efforts to undermine confidence in elections. Alongside bipartisan coalitions and subject-matter experts, we also litigate voter intimidation cases, advocate for transparent vote counting, and defend the certification process.

• We represent the largest Latino civil rights group (LULAC) in a number of cases combatting voter suppression: 

  • ​Federally, we are challenging provisions of Trump’s executive order that, if implemented, would severely burden LULAC’s protected civic engagement activity and their members’ right to vote.

  • In Florida, we are defending the rights of individuals to lead ballot initiatives to amend their state constitution.

• We protected two critical state Supreme Court races in support of pro-democracy candidates:

  • ​We helped lead a successful bipartisan campaign that stopped North Carolina Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin’s attempt to flip the result of a fair election won by Allison Riggs.

  • Our ethics actions and litigation helped expose the serious corruption underlying Elon Musk’s efforts to influence the Wisconsin Supreme Court race through illegal payments, ensuring a free and fair election.
