تحث المجموعات على إجراء تغييرات في التعداد السكاني لإحصاء أعداد السجناء بدقة لإعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية

اليوم، حثت منظمة Common Cause ومبادرة سياسة السجون مكتب الإحصاء الأمريكي على تغيير الطريقة التي يحصي بها أعداد السجناء في كل عقد من الزمان. إن استخدام المكتب للخصوصية التفاضلية، والتسريب المتعمد لمعلومات غير دقيقة في بيانات السكان، يؤدي إلى أخطاء غير ضرورية في عد البيانات التي يستخدمها المسؤولون الحكوميون والمحليون لإعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية. وفي رسالة إلى المدير روبرت إل سانتوس وغيره من كبار المسؤولين، أكدت المجموعات أن أعداد السجناء في المرافق الإصلاحية متاحة بالفعل للعامة وأن الخصوصية التفاضلية...

VICE: The Center of the Fight Over Whose Votes Count Is in Georgia

When combined, though, these problems reflect a slurry of confusion, incompetence, and neglect that has the same effect as wrongdoing and, more importantly, is plausibly deniable, especially when the responsibility for running elections is split between the state and the counties. “They each point the finger at one another,” said Sara Henderson, the Executive Director of Common Cause Georgia, a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization that also sued the state during the midterms. “But, neither one will be held culpable or...

“The limited release of Dr. Hofeller’s files has already proven critical in exposing secret efforts to manipulate the census and redistricting,” said Kathay Feng, national redistricting director for Common Cause. “Now the truth can come out about all of Hofeller’s shocking efforts to rig elections in almost every state.”

“Litigation is a hard and painful road,” said Kathay Feng, national redistricting director for Common Cause. The group was a plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case decided in June , which also focused on North Carolina’s congressional map. The goal, Feng said, is to “make changes where each 10 years we’re not facing that same uphill ... climb.”

Impeachment Inquiry Vote Will Determine Legacies of U.S. Representatives

Today’s vote is a defining moment for every member of the U.S. House of Representatives. History is watching as Republican Members will weigh the choice of casting a vote for their country or for their party. Amidst a growing list of witnesses testifying about shocking abuses of power by the Trump administration and the president’s inner circle and seismic shifts in public disapproval of the president’s conduct, this is the first time many Members will be asked to cast a formal vote that will put them on the right—or wrong—side of...

Chicago Tribune (Op-Ed): Facebook’s political ad exemption policy is a danger to our democracy

In recent weeks, President Trump ran an ad on Facebook with discredited allegations about former Vice President Joe Biden's relationship with Ukraine. Despite requests from Biden's campaign to take down the ad, Facebook refused, stating the ad didn't violate its policies on political advertising. Facebook's new policy exempts politicians' political ads from third-party fact-checkers.
The exemption effectively allows any politician to run ads on the platform that contain deceptive, false or misleading information. Given the president's...

New York Times: ‘The State Kind of Dumped This On Us:’ Early Voting Stirs Anxiety in N.Y.

Technological advances aside, early voter turnout will depend on whether people know that the option now exists in New York. Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, which has been leading efforts to raise awareness, said that educating a public long accustomed to “16 hours, on the first Tuesday in November” had been a challenge.
“Some people are very aware of it,” she said. For others, Ms. Lerner added, “this is absolutely news to them.”

Washington Post: An overlooked consequence of the Supreme Court’s gerrymandering rulings: Stricter abortion laws

But to really grasp the impact that gerrymandering has had on abortion laws, you have to look back to 2010, said Dan Vicuña, the national redistricting manager at voting rights watchdog group Common Cause. That election year, Republicans set out to win control of as many statehouses as possible, which gave them power to redraw state and congressional districts after the census.
“That effort succeeded beyond their wildest dreams,” Vicuña said. “Republicans took over tons of state legislatures, and they were interested in...
