US Midterms 2026Background
New York University is a private research university founded in 1831, with its main campus in Manhattan. Its School of Law houses the Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan law and policy institute that works on voting rights and elections.
In the 2026 midterms the Brennan Center's tracker has been a running count of the Justice Department's lawsuits for state voter lists. Its count includes the suits federal judges dismissed in Maine and Wisconsin and in Georgia.
By October 2026 the tracker counted 30 states and the District of Columbia sued for voter lists, with 26 suits dismissed, as a federal judge ruled the department's removal policy unlawful.
