Our take
Protect Democracy is a US nonpartisan, nonprofit group of experts working to prevent authoritarianism, in response to the rise in authoritarianist sentiment across the globe. The organization encompasses a range of expertise and functions, including but not limited to public interest litigation, democracy-centered research and analysis, and software for fairer, secure, more transparent elections.
As the global commitment to democracy falters, Protect Democracy has taken on a gargantuan-scale mission to find out why, and to try to protect democracy for future generations. One current focus of the organization is on the further development of "VoteShield", that provides state and local election officials with advanced data analysis to detect unauthorized or improper changes to voter databases - monitoring the entire election cycle to ensure they are free and fair.
