Democracy Docket

U.S. left / Democratic-aligned

Democracy Docket is a for-profit media outlet founded by Democratic voting-rights attorney Marc Elias to cover election law and litigation from a pro-voting-access, Democratic-aligned perspective. It is financially and organizationally intertwined with allied nonprofit litigation and advocacy funds backed by opaque, Democratic-donor-linked dark-money networks. Its coverage of the Trump administration's election and voting policies is consistently critical, framing most administration actions as threats to voting rights.
