Speaking of busy, this past year was the most litigated election cycle in history. Democracy Docket tracked voting rights and election-related litigation leading up to the 2024 election. The team’s analysis found that despite a wave of lawsuits aimed at restricting voting access, courts consistently ruled in favor of voters.
Over 300 democracy-related lawsuits were filed this election cycle, according to the report. As expected, the pace of litigation increased in the second half of the cycle with a total of 228 lawsuits in 2024 — more than double the 82 lawsuits filed in 2020. Here’s a breakdown of the cases litigated this year.
