Litigation

Fair Elections Center investigates under-the-radar violations of the right to vote and has sued to enforce federal and state law requirements in novel ways. We do not have a single approach to litigation, and this frees us to discover new methods. By studying state election codes, including ID requirements and voter registration procedures, we identify opportunities to expand equal access to the ballot. We force election officials to explain why they treat similar groups of eligible voters differently and obtain court orders requiring them to stop such discriminatory practices.
