Abstract
Since the 2020 election, the US has experienced unfounded allegations of voter fraud, illegal efforts to overturn the election results, and a raft of legislation and court decisions that erect barriers to universal and equal suffrage for citizens. This roundtable will examine this turn away from deepening democracy in the US, focusing on the efforts of advocates to counter these assaults on human rights.
