As the 2020 election results came in, Voting Rights Lab and IntoAction produced memes and graphics which were viewed over 1 billion times urging every vote to be counted.[7] The organization monitors laws such as the passing of protections for election workers[8] and rules whose stated intent is to prevent noncitizen voting.[4] The group has tracked 700 new election laws throughout the US between 2020 and 2024.[9] The group also groups laws into categories such as 'expand voting rights' and 'restrict voting rights'[6] and publishes a tracker of voter ID requirements in different states.[10] The organization put together a summary of election rule changes in the seven swing states ahead of the 2024 presidential election.[3] They found that Michigan and Nevada expanded access to voting, Arizona and Pennsylvania were mixed and Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin restricted voting access.[3] In 2025, the Voting Rights Lab also analyzed how many americans have passports, estimating that 43% of Americans had one.[11]
Samantha Tarazi is the co-founder and CEO.[12][13] In October 2020, a number of musicians including R.E.M., Phoebe Bridgers, and Hayley Williams helped raised money for Voting Rights Lab by releasing compilation albums on Bandcamp.[14][15]
