THE TEAM
Equal Votes is a project of Equal Citizens. Equal Citizens — a non-profit organization founded by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig — is dedicated to reforms that will achieve citizen equality.
Lessig is working with Bush v Gore lawyer David Boies, former White House chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter, NYU Professor of Constitutional Law Samuel Issacharoff, and Duke Law Professor Guy-Uriel Charles to develop the strongest case and best litigation strategy, as well as with a wide range of scholars and experts in the field of voting rights litigation. The cases are managed by pro bono legal counsel, both locally and nationally.
