Looking Back at the People and Groups Who Tried to Disenfranchise Voters

— Matt Cohen

Throughout 2024, I spent a bulk of my time at Democracy Docket investigating the people and groups who tried to disenfranchise voters.

Countless hours of digging through nonprofit tax filings,
old press clippings and interviews
with dozens of various sources helped me produce more than a handful of deep dives on people like #Harmeet #Dhillon
— who Trump picked as assistant attorney general for civil rights
— and groups like the "Public Interest Legal Foundation" ( #PILF ) who’ve worked hard to manipulate the courts in order to suppress voting rights.

Looking back at seven features I wrote in 2024
— zeroing in on Dhillon and PILF,
along with groups like the "Arizona Free Enterprise Club",
"United Sovereign Americans",
"Judicial Watch",
"America First Legal"
and the "America First Policy Institute"
— they outline exactly how the incoming Trump administration will work to roll back voting rights:

weaponizing disinformation about rampant voter fraud and noncitizen voting -- to implement new rules and regulations for who can vote,
how and when.

The result will, inevitably, make it harder for millions of eligible voters to go to the polls.

⭐️But the best weapon to prevent this from happening is knowledge.

By continuing to report on various people and groups on the right and their efforts to disenfranchise voters,
it makes it harder for them to carry it out.

And so you can count on more from me doing just that in 2025.
