The Statewide Landscape

Elections are run by the states. That means statewide officials are responsible for protecting the will of the people. Election Deniers already oversee elections in some states, and they’re looking to expand their reach in 2024.

States are colored by number of Election Denying officials in statewide positions:

0 Election Deniers hold statewide office right now.

In 0 states, an Election Denier currently holds at least one statewide office with election oversight power.

In most states, the Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State are in charge of making sure elections are free, fair, and secure. But in our decentralized system, some states empower other officials with election oversight responsibilities. We’re also tracking states where election powers are held by other offices, like the Lieutenant Governor or a state Board of Elections.

The Presidential Landscape

The 2024 Presidential race has been shaped by election denial. The winner will have the ultimate platform to build our democracy up—or attack it from the inside. We’re tracking the candidates.

Election Deniers have won the presidential race in 2024.

In the United States, Presidents don’t oversee elections. That power falls to the states. Yet Presidents make decisions every day that can strengthen or weaken American democracy. And they have the ultimate public platform. They can use it to defend free and fair elections—or undermine them.
