For the number of measures, we added one for each legislation introduced in each state. The types of legislations we counted were photo ID laws, proof of citizenship requirements, limits to registrations, and reduction in early voting periods. Many of these measures were overturned or held up in court and not in effect on Election Day.
Pushback actions were also described and tallied in the Brennan Center’s report and included gubernatorial vetoes, Department of Justice lawsuits, challenge via court cases, and voter mobilization efforts.
