The Democracy Legal Defense Fund was formed to confront the expected tsunami of legal challenges likely to be filed against Secretaries of State in their personal and official capacities after Election Day 2024. These specious efforts from anti-democratic Republicans threaten to overturn free and fair election results – stretching the resources and expertise of Secretaries’ state offices in the process by overextending election workers who already face intense challenges from the threats and attacks spurred by The Big Lie.
Democracy Legal Defense Fund will help Democratic Secretaries of State continue to do their jobs of ensuring that the voice of the people is decided at the ballot box – not by judges in courtrooms. The Democracy Trust will aggressively support pro-democracy Secretaries of State in critical swing states like Michigan, Maine, North Carolina, and Nevada.
