Background
Democracy Docket is a legal media and litigation organisation founded by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, focused on voting rights litigation. It tracks lawsuits affecting voting access, redistricting, and election administration, and brings its own cases on behalf of Democratic candidates, party committees, and voting rights groups.
In the 2026 cycle, Democracy Docket has been active in the wave of litigation prompted by the Trump mail ballot executive order, the DOJ voter data programme, and multiple redistricting disputes. It provides a clearinghouse of case tracking that journalists and campaigns use to monitor the legal landscape. Its role is partly litigation and partly public-facing documentation of the scale of election law activity.
