Records from LegiScan, catalogs virtually every bill introduced by state-level lawmakers in all 50 states
From Reveal:

Since the 2020 general election, state lawmakers across the country have introduced legislation that would dramatically criminalize voting activity. Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting has collected and analyzed those bills into this first-of-its-kind database.

Reveal used records from LegiScan, which catalogs virtually every bill introduced by state-level lawmakers in all 50 states, to identify and classify the bills, which we have divided into the following categories:

  • Empowering a law enforcement agency by giving it more power or resources

  • Creating a new enforcement agency

  • Creating new criminal penalties

  • Increasing penalties for existing offenses

    For bills that would create or increase criminal penalties, Reveal further categorized them based on the type of activity they would criminalize:

  • Voting

  • Voter assistance

  • Ballot collection

  • Election administration

  • Election interference
