The Supreme Court just handed rightwing-controlled states even more power over elections by essentially gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
This decision means states hold even more power over elections. The rules. The maps. The decisions about whether your vote counts.
Who has power in state legislatures after this November’s elections will determine whether we have competitive elections in 2028 and beyond.
There is a path forward. It runs through state legislatures.
This is the most strategic investment you can make in protecting our democracy right now. Not congressional races. Not federal litigation.
State legislatures — where the power to protect your vote actually lives.
The States Project has been hyper-focused on state legislatures since 2017. When it comes to defending our democracy, protecting personal freedoms, and improving people’s day-to-day lives, we’re the only national organization hyper-focused on both winning state legislative power and helping state lawmakers govern effectively.
Right now, state legislatures are where the fight to protect voters is being won or lost. Join us to protect the role of voters in elections.
We have the tools, the data, the relationships, and the strategy. What we need now is you. Join us.
