Election 2024 Real-Time Litigation Tracker
In this new publication for Election Week 2024, we track the most important breaking election cases across the country. This tracker complements our weekly top 10 major case list from the pre-election period with real-time analysis of developments in those cases and in new ones filed on or after election day while the count continues. The cases below are organized by state; in the interests of time we do not attempt to rank them.
Why Mark Meadows’ removal bid is an uphill climb
About 18 hours after Fulton County District Attorney (DA) Fani Willis revealed the indictment of former president Donald Trump, his ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and 17 others, Meadows attempted to remove his prosecution from Georgia state to federal court.
Detailed Timeline of Trump Hush Money-2016 Election Investigation
Part of Just Security’s work on accountability and election law. Originally published on March 29, 2023; updated version published on May 24, 2023. On April 4, 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the first criminal indictment of a former U.S. president in history.

Filed under: Alvin Bragg, campaign finance law, Donald Trump, election law, Hush Money Investigation, Michael Cohen, Presidential Campaign 2016 Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is nearing what could be the first criminal indictment of a former U.S. president in history.

Do State Laws Block Insurrectionists from Office?
The next two years are likely to see a test of what may turn out to be the most legally consequential recommendation—other than the suggestion of criminal charges—made by the January 6 committee in its final report.
Highlights from the Criminal Evidence Tracker’s Reports on Seven Hearings by the January 6th Committee
Filed under: 2020 presidential election, Congressional Testimony, Department of Justice (DOJ), Donald Trump, House Select Committee on January 6, January 6th Attack on US Capitol, Mark Meadows, Michael Flynn, Pat Cipollone, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, William Barr The House January 6th Select Committee hearings have presented powerful, compelling evidence that former President Donald Trump led a criminal conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election.
The January 6th Hearings: Criminal Evidence Tracker Seventh Edition
Building on the prior Cassidy Hutchinson hearing, the January 6 Select Committee last Tuesday further advanced the ball on proving that former President Donald Trump intended violence to occur that day, and the committee therefore moved toward proof beyond a reasonable doubt of criminal violations. We incorporate that continued accumulation of evidence in the seventh edition of our criminal evidence tracker (available below and as a separate PDF).
The January 6th Hearings: Criminal Evidence Tracker Sixth Edition
The January 6th Select Committee’s sixth public hearing on Tuesday featured explosive testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows. She provided damning evidence that President Trump knew many of his supporters were armed, yet wanted and still urged the march to the Capitol. The hearing provided further proof that Trump’s final moves in his effort to overturn the election were, like those leading up to January 6, likely criminal.
In Advance of the Snap Hearing ... the Jan. 6 Criminal Evidence Tracker Fifth Edition
In advance of tomorrow’s snap hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee, we are publishing the updated criminal evidence tracker (available below and as a PDF). Thursday’s fifth hearing of committee focused on former President Donald Trump’s campaign to misuse his own Department of Justice in his efforts to overturn an election he lost, and in particular the role of his main collaborator at DOJ, former DOJ assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark.
The January 6th Hearings: Criminal Evidence Tracker Fourth Edition
The January 6 Select Committee’s fourth public hearing on Tuesday provided significant new evidence of the multitiered structure of Trump and his allies’ scheme to overturn the election. It further documented the surprisingly simple structure of the conspiracy: Trump and his allies knew there was no factual or legal basis to overturn the election but tried to do so anyhow.
In Georgia, an up-and-down road to justice for victims of the August War
Since Russia invaded Georgia in the South Caucasus in 2008, the victims of the conflict have found little in the way of justice — until now. Developments at the International Criminal Court (ICC), along with recent strides in the European legal world and in the United States, suggest that meaningful progress may finally be underway for those whose lives were upended by the conflict.
