Five Voting Right Stories to Boost Your Spirit

 

Free sample of my members-only emails

Let’s be honest, this was not an easy week. Last Saturday, a deranged man attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. In the days that followed, Republicans held their party convention while Democrats continued to struggle with the painful aftermath of Joe Biden’s horrendous debate performance.


Most weeks I try to bring you the under reported news of the week – the good and the bad. This week, I am going to take a break from the bad and suggest five stories about how voters won in court and efforts to undermine free and fair elections failed.


I’m also thrilled to announce that starting next week, Democracy Docket will start publishing its proprietary data on how voting rights are faring in court. Each day, Democracy Docket’s free daily newsletter will include a Democracy Scoreboard — a snapshot of the cycle’s wins and losses in court.


On Saturdays, this weekly email to premium members will include a more detailed analysis we are calling the Democracy Scorecard. I will still include my list of underreported stories, but it will be more closely integrated with the actual results we are seeing in court.


In the meantime, I hope you read and enjoy.


Have questions for me about any of these cases or want to learn more about the current state of democracy?

After losing more than 60 cases after the 2020 election, Donald Trump’s campaign picks up where it left off with a big defeat in federal court in Nevada. It was his campaign’s first lawsuit of the election cycle and, predictably, targeted mail-in voting.

We know that Republicans are going to try to cheat by refusing to certify accurate election results. Nevada’s attorney general set the standard in fighting this by bringing a lawsuit against the responsible county officials in the state Supreme Court. Unsurprisingly, the GOP election deniers immediately backed down.
