David J. Becker is an American attorney and public policy specialist with a focus on election administration and electoral integrity. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR)[1] a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization[2] that works with election officials to ensure the integrity and accessibility of U.S. elections.[3] Becker is a regular commentator on election law for CBS News [4] and has been cited in various other media outlets for his expertise in election law and practice.
In 2022, Becker was named one of Washington DC's 500 Most Influential People by Washingtonian.[5]
Education and career
Becker completed a B.A. in history from the University of California, Berkeley and a J.D. from the UC Berkeley School of Law.[6]
His early career included seven years in the Voting Section of the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division[7][8] overseeing voting rights enforcement in states including California and Georgia. He also served as lead counsel on significant cases such as Georgia v. Ashcroft,[9] which was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Following his time at the Department of Justice, Becker served as director of the elections program at The Pew Charitable Trusts,[10] advocating for electoral reform. While at Pew, he led development of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), an initiative that facilitates the sharing of voter registration information among states to improve the accuracy of voter rolls.[11] In August 2016, Becker founded the Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR) to promote the integrity and accessibility of U.S. elections. Under his direction, CEIR collaborates with election officials and policymakers, provides resources and guidance to enhance the electoral process,[12] and coordinates pro bono legal defense for election officials under threat or harassment.[13]
Media work and publications
Becker is frequently featured in national media as an election law analyst. His commentary has been included in publications such as The New York Times[14] and The Washington Post,[15] and he has made television appearances on networks including CNN,[16] MSNBC,[17] and PBS NewsHour,[18] as well as radio appearances on NPR.[19]
Together with CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett, Becker co-authored the book The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of The Big Lie[20] which discusses challenges facing contemporary democratic processes in the face of election denialism and declining trust in institutions.
Personal life
Becker was a two-time champion on Jeopardy![21] and a winner on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?[22]
