US Midterms 2026Background
Marc Elias is a Democratic election lawyer. He chairs Elias Law Group, whose clients have included the Democratic Senatorial and Congressional Campaign Committees and several presidential campaigns, and he founded Democracy Docket, a news site that covers voting and election cases in the courts.
Democracy Docket keeps a running count of the Justice Department's suits for state voter lists. It recorded the 30 September 2026 dismissal of the department's Georgia suit as the 26th straight loss. The department has filed those suits state by state, so a single running figure is the simplest way to follow a campaign spread across many courts.
Elias works the same ground twice over: his firm litigates election cases, and his site reports on them.
