(Democracy Docket) More than 300 candidates for House, Senate and statewide offices who refuse to accept the reality that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election are on the ballot in races across the country this year. Many of them are vying to oversee their state’s elections, which could allow them to use their power to restrict voting rights and even sabotage our democracy….That’s why End Citizens United / Let America Vote Action Fund has created a first-of-its-kind State Democracy Scorecard that takes a comprehensive look at the health of democracy in all 50 states and offers people a roadmap to demand their elected officials take action. Specifically, we’ve analyzed each state’s voting laws, campaign finance and anti-corruption policies and protections against democracy subversion. Our scorecard also highlights key warning signs, including the election deniers who could end up running the same elections they’ve worked to undermine.
