Trump endorsed Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose ahead of Ohio's primaries on Tuesday. LaRose told NPR in January that candidates not conceding was a "really dangerous thing."

The party voted resoundingly to support former President Trump's false claims about the 2020 election in their picks for state's next top elections officer and top law enforcement official.

Republicans in Michigan will decide whether to nominate candidates for secretary of state and state attorney general who believe the 2020 election was stolen.

Before former President Donald Trump's baseless assault on the U.S. voting system, candidate concessions were taken for granted. No more.

One study found that the U.S. government spends as much maintaining parking facilities across the country as it does running elections.

A new national survey raises alarms from election administrators facing constant threats. Stress and attacks by political leaders on the voting system are top forces pushing them out of their jobs.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who denied entreaties to overturn the 2020 race, faces a primary challenge from one of the nation's preeminent election deniers, Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga.

The bipartisan program — called ERIC — allows states to improve voting access and election security at the same time. But it's currently under attack from the far right.

After failing to pass a voting rights bill, Democrats in Congress haven't made their next move clear. Bipartisan talks have begun over smaller measures that election experts still see as necessary.

Legal experts say the illegitimate submissions should motivate Congress to update the Electoral Count Act and "firm up the guardrails" of democracy.

The former president blasted Republicans who have crossed him and kept up repeated election lies in an NPR interview.

Lawmakers passed the Electoral Count Act in 1887 after a contested election, and experts say they did a "terrible job." There may now be bipartisan support for a refresh.

More than a dozen Trump-aligned Republicans, who doubt President Biden won in 2020, are running to control the election process in their states. It could have sweeping consequences.

An NPR analysis found at least 15 Republican candidates for secretary of state offices in 2022 who doubt Joe Biden's 2020 victory.

Disinformation — about the Jan. 6 attack, COVID-19, vaccines, etc. — shaped the nation's politics in 2021 and likely will continue to do so throughout the coming year.

Recent off-year elections showed that voters may not be so invested in making it easier to vote while Republicans may benefit from higher voter turnout than they previously had thought.

Normally, more involvement in democracy is a good thing. But officials worry people could be motivated to take their election watcher roles too far.
