In short, the report represents the pessimist’s case for the state of American democracy. Yes, some of the most notorious election deniers and conspiracists were defeated. But the true threat, the report argues, comes from the local level — from officials who are the ones literally counting the ballots and certifying elections, or state legislators in charge of making new election law. And so-called “anti-democracy” officials are thriving there.
Informing Democracy focused on six swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and identified over 200 current officials “who provoke concern due to anti-democratic tendencies or actions.” That includes 110 state legislators, and 94 local officials with some role in the elections process, including those who oversee the all-important certification of the results.
