WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Accountable.US released new profiles detailing a growing web of right-wing organizations focused on attacking voting rights under the dubious banner of “election integrity.” The release represents the latest update of the organization’s recently launched Monitoring Influence project, which seeks to uncover the relationships between powerful right-wing organizations and the shadowy, influential mega-donors who fund them. Today’s release comes only a few weeks ahead of the midterm elections, and as many states have started sending out mail-in ballots.

The exposé profiles eight powerful anti-voting rights groups that work to place burdensome restrictions on ballot access, bolster gerrymandering, and recently aided in the failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. Many of the groups filed amicus briefs in the upcoming Supreme Court case, Moore v. Harper, voicing support for the implementation of the fringe Independent State Legislature Theory, which would give sole authority over federal elections to state legislatures.

 

“

As Americans prepare to head to the polls, anti-voting rights groups are hard at work eroding our democracy. Now, some of these same groups are urging the Supreme Court to make state legislatures the sole authority over our elections, clearing the way for election subversion. We can not allow groups hiding in the shadows to break down our constitutional rights.”

Kayla Hancock, A.US Director of Power and Influence
