Founded in 2020, 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.
News
Our newsroom produces a mix of breaking news, in-depth reporting, analysis and daily and weekly newsletters to keep our audience informed on the most important voting and democracy issues.
Our founder, Democratic election and voting rights attorney Marc Elias, is not involved in our news-gathering process, and Democracy Docket is 100% independent from the Elias Law Group.
Opinion
Our YouTube channel features long-form conversations between Marc and leading voices in law, politics and activism. Marc and voices like these, alongside a regular stable of expert contributors, also publish op-eds on the pressing issues facing voters and our democracy.
Research
Since our founding, we’ve been a leader in tracking the latest voting and election litigation. Our Research team maintains a comprehensive database of over 1,000 cases and makes court filings accessible in real time for lawyers, journalists, policymakers and the general public.
Democracy Docket currently has 350,000 newsletter subscribers, over 1 million total followers across social media and over 600,000 subscribers to our YouTube channel.
