Since I started sending out Q&As as a part of our membership program, the response has been overwhelming. My first two were focused on specific topics — Trump trials and efforts by Republican-controlled states to keep President Biden off the general election ballot.

Democracy Docket has received a ton of questions on all types of topics — from fighting voter suppression in Georgia to fears that mail in ballots will not be counted.

In this potpourri edition of our member-only Q&A, I answer five questions from readers:

• Is Republicans’ attack on private litigants’ ability to enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act a done deal or is there still opportunity for private litigants to act?

• What can be done to battle voter suppression laws in Georgia?

• As an overseas voter, I'm a bit nervous that my vote won't be counted because of the election laws in my state. Do they have to count those votes no matter if it's an overseas vote by mail?

• Will Republicans be successful in getting rid of machines used to count ballots this election?

• Since the MAGA GOP, which won’t commit to certifying the election if Trump loses, controls the House, how would this affect the outcome of the election?

Wondering why we are asking for your financial support? In 2020, when I founded Democracy Docket, we had a team of three. Since then, we’ve grown immensely and now our team of 14 (!) works hard every day to ensure readers like you are up to date on what is happening to our democracy in courtrooms across the country.

We’ve already seen a major uptick in lawsuits last month and will only see that increase with each day closer to the election. Our premium membership allows our case team to track every lawsuit that will impact voters this November, our reporters to cover the latest and most accurate voting and election news and our social team to deliver these crucial updates in real time.

I hope you will consider upgrading, but we also understand that you might have subscribed to Democracy Docket for our free content. And that’s not going anywhere! If you’re not ready or able to make a $10/month commitment, you can still enjoy our free daily and weekly newsletters.
