The States United Democracy Center is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting democratic institutions through litigation, advocacy, and collaborative efforts, with a focus on advancing free, fair, and secure elections in the United States. It supports state officials, law enforcement leaders, and pro-democracy partners by providing tools, expertise, and resources to safeguard democratic institutions and defend against threats to democracy, particularly in the context of post-2020 election challenges. Founded in the months leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the organization emerged from the recognized need to bolster support for election administrators amid growing concerns over electoral integrity. It was established by Norm Eisen, a prominent left-leaning lawyer and former Obama White House Ethics Czar, and rebranded from the Voter Protection Program following the 2020 election. States United operates through legal actions, policy advocacy, and network-building, engaging in high-profile efforts to counter election misinformation, support certification processes, and litigate against attempts to undermine democratic norms while emphasizing nonpartisan collaboration across political lines to strengthen state-level election infrastructure and promote accountability in governance.
