Election Day is 30 days away, and the fight for free and fair elections is here. In some states, early voting has already begun, and nearly every state has sent out mail-in ballots.

I have been on the road the last week traveling. I apologize that some of my essays have been shorter and videos less well-produced.

For months, we have been building toward this moment. Campaigns are communicating with voters and executing get-out-the-vote plans. Nonprofit groups are registering voters and recruiting poll workers.

Then there are the lawyers. My law firm is currently litigating nearly 90 voting and election cases in more than 40 states. We have beaten the Department of Justice more than 20 times, defended voting by mail against Trump's executive orders, and won three times at the Supreme Court to keep Missouri from using an illegally gerrymandered map.

But that is only part of the fight.

Democracy Docket is tracking almost 200 cases in nearly all 50 states and D.C. Keeping a spotlight on what is happening to democracy in the courts is a critical part of the effort to protect our elections.

Since Trump returned to office, Democracy Docket has closely tracked his authoritarian schemes. While other media outlets have bent the knee, Democracy Docket has remained unbowed.

I created Democracy Docket for moments like this. And you, our readers, have been with me the entire time.

When I'm tired, your words energize me. Your support helps me fight another day. I will never forget that.

No matter what happens on Election Day, and no matter what Trump does or threatens, I promise you this: Democracy Docket will keep fighting.
