Democracy Docket is a liberal-leaning voting rights and media platform that tracks election litigation. It was founded in 2020 by lawyer Marc Elias and is owned by Democracy Docket, LLC. Elias launched Democracy Docket on March 5, 2020, with the stated goal of educating the public on voting rights and redistricting litigation. Elias was concerned that the Republican Party would have a newfound freedom in its efforts, as a court order prohibiting the party from past voter suppression tactics had expired.
