Voting Rights Lab, a national nonpartisan 501(c)(3), and its 501(c)(4) affiliate are fighting the state-level battles that will shape elections in 2026, 2028, and for decades to come. Our strategy is threefold: build the Advancing Liberty Coalition — uniting veterans and military families, women of faith, people with disabilities, and business leaders across the ideological spectrum; block efforts to manipulate elections or interfere with certification; and protect democracy's guardrails to ensure elections are fair, accessible, and transparent.

In 2025 alone, we stopped a wave of proof-of-citizenship mandates in red and purple states from Texas to Michigan, and produced the first-ever map of election law vulnerabilities — showing where losing candidates can exploit state laws to challenge legitimate results. Grounded in deep state-level relationships and cross-ideological credibility, we anticipate threats and deliver solutions where democracy is most at risk.
