Democracy at Risk is a voter-facing accountability project. Its purpose is not to catalog every controversy, but to document patterns of conduct that weaken democratic institutions or normalize arbitrary power.
A democracy can erode gradually when violations of law, norms, and institutional limits are treated as isolated episodes. This project organizes those episodes into a public record so ordinary readers can understand what is happening and why it matters.
This site is for people who care about democracy but do not have time to follow every court filing, ethics disclosure, or news cycle. It aims to make the stakes legible without assuming expert knowledge.
Each entry uses the same structure: What happened, Why it matters, Risk to democracy, and Sources. That format keeps the factual record visible while also drawing a clear line between conduct and democratic danger.
This is not a rumor feed, a meme archive, or a replacement for original reporting. It is a disciplined reference tool built around documentation, plain language, and democratic accountability.
