As the founder of Democracy Docket and Partner at Elias Law Group, Marc Elias is a nationally recognized authority in voting rights, redistricting and law. In 2020, Marc led the historic legal effort to protect voting rights, winning over 60 lawsuits against the GOP’s efforts to suppress the vote. As Republicans continue to mount aggressive challenges to voting, Marc continues to fight back in court and on Twitter. Fighting for democracy by his side is Marc’s Portuguese Water Dog named Blue.

We have already sued to block Trump’s anti-voting executive orders. If the USPS adopts an anti-voting rule, we will bring litigation to stop it.
What we are witnessing now, however, is a second and more insidious track of that same weaponization — one aimed not at famous individuals who can fight back, but at the unglamorous, under-the-radar groups doing the daily work of democracy.
