Our research team has been digging deep into a hidden voter problem that is Democrats’ biggest barrier – and biggest opportunity – to taking control of state legislatures.
We have already determined Democrats would have gained control of 14 more chambers in 9 states in 2020 if they had only been able to increase their down-ballot votes by 2% or less. And, those votes could have come from people who were already voting for Democrats at the top of the ticket.
Currently, we are investigating what kinds of people roll off their ballots and why. This research has huge implications for the general election this November. In 2024, we are developing and testing messages to address this problem, and we’ll work in coalition with our friends and allies to put these messages into practice during the 2024 general elections.
The second phase of our downballot voter roll-off research was featured in POLITICO!
With over 70,000 volunteers across the nation, we are one of the largest and most effective progressive grassroots organizations in the country.
Help us build progressive power and get Democrats elected in swing states like Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Texas.

In this month’s States & Stats Newsletter, we dive into our Downballot Voter Toolkit, explore key barriers to voter engagement, and announce upcoming virtual events with political leaders and authors.
Discover how Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy is reshaping the landscape for Democratic state legislative races. With a seamless transition from Biden’s campaign, Harris brings a wealth of resources and enthusiasm that will bolster down-ballot candidates. Learn about the challenges of down-ballot roll-off and how Harris’s campaign provides a crucial boost to overcome these obstacles. This pivotal moment in the 2024 election cycle could determine the future of state legislative majorities and the protection of essential rights and freedoms.
