Our Expertise

Through our legal work, we support states, counties, and cities as they work to protect the rule of law, the freedom to vote, and our nonpartisan election system. We provide pro bono counsel to state and local officials, share research and guidance, and file amicus briefs on behalf of bipartisan voices. We represent states as they defend strong voting laws, the security and integrity of our elections systems, our system of checks and balances, and the will of the people.

States United is partnering with prosecutors, police chiefs, sheriffs, and other law enforcement leaders to respond to emerging threats that put our democracy at risk. By providing policy guidance, training, and research, we help our partners enhance public safety while also strengthening community trust in elections.

Through our research and policy team, States United analyzes trends related to elections, democracy, and the rule of law. From policy analysis to polling on key issues in the states, we aim to help officials, the press, and the public better understand the state of our democracy. Our work has informed the congressional record, legal proceedings, advocacy efforts, and the public.

At a time when states face unprecedented threats to the rule of law, election administration, and our system of checks and balances, States United serves as a hub for nonpartisan facts, guidance, and information about our democracy. We help state and local leaders address the communications challenges of the moment and get accurate information to the people who need it most—the voters. States United provides tools, resources and briefings for our partners, the press, and the public.
