Despite a century of progress, the fight for the right to vote in America continues.
Public Perceptions of Elections and Voting Rights in Washington State
With the 2024 election approaching, the fight over voting rights is at the forefront, with new data exposing deep divides that don't run along traditional partisan or demographic lines.
Our latest analysis delves into Washington voters' concerns about fraud, trust in election officials, the rise of misinformation, and the potential influence of AI on election integrity.
We found that many Washington voters are seeking reassurance that the 2024 election will be conducted fairly. While 75% say they'll support the outcome regardless of their favored candidates or issues, nearly one-third (29%) still lack confidence that the election will be free, fair, and transparent.
As fears of political violence loom, the stakes for preserving trust in democracy have never been higher.
“To make it hard, to make it difficult or almost impossible for people to cast a vote is not in keeping with the democratic process.”

What inspired this project?
The 2120 Initiative launched in 2020 to commemorate the centennial of the 19th amendment securing women’s right to vote in the United States.
In celebrating this milestone, we began to recognize not all women were guaranteed the right to vote in 1920. This led us to evolve the Initiative to bring attention to the continuous fight to protect voting rights in the United States – for everyone.
Today, the Initiative is focused on raising public awareness about the changing landscape of voting rights laws and to bring attention to the issues of voter disenfranchisement, voter discrimination, and voter suppression.
