State legislatures are moving to limit voting rights and seize control of election administration, candidates are refusing to accept election results, and antidemocracy forces are sowing lies and encouraging political violence.The States United Democracy Center is fighting back by equipping state and local officials, law enforcement leaders, and prodemocracy partners with the tools and resources they need to protect free, fair, and secure elections. For this important work, its cofounders are the recipients of the 2022 Brown Democracy Medal. States United was founded during the 2020 election and continues to be led by Joanna Lydgate, former chief deputy attorney general of Massachusetts; Norman Eisen, former ambassador to the Czech Republic and special assistant to President Barack Obama for ethics and government reform; and Christine Todd Whitman, former New Jersey governor and Environmental Protection Agency administrator. 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 606 $aElections$zUnited States 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Campaigns & Elections$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAmerican elections, January 6 insurrection, American democracy, election disinformation, election security, state election laws, anti-democracy movement, election protests, protecting elections. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aElections 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Campaigns & Elections. 676 $a324.973 700 $aLYDGATE$b JOANNA$01262683 712 02$aPenn State University$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597897703321 996 $aStates United$92953353 997 $aUNINA
