How State Legislatures are Politicizing, Criminalizing, and Interfering with Election Administration

statesuniteddemocracy.org

This report is a partnership between the States United Democracy Center, Law Forward, and Protect Democracy. In the 21 months since the 2020 election, we have seen a breakdown in the longstanding consensus that election administration belongs in the hands of professional, dispassionate experts, and that naked political interference in vote counting is anathema to a functioning democracy. Over the course of 2021 and into 2022, state legislatures have embarked on a sweeping campaign to propose, consider, and, in some cases, enact measures that increase the risk of election subversion—that is, the risk that an election’s declared outcome does not reflect the choice of the voters.
