The Republican Party, GOP candidates and voters, and aligned groups filed 93 anti-voter lawsuits in 2022, and although most were unsuccessful, the trend underscores how right-wing attacks on ballot access and election administration are taking place in courtrooms as well as state legislatures nationwide.
According to a report published Monday by Democracy Docket, a progressive platform that tracks voting litigation, 175 "democracy-related lawsuits" were filed in 31 states last year. Democracy Docket excluded 58 active redistricting lawsuits from its report in order to focus on cases related to voting rights and election oversight.
