WIRED: Inside Election Conspiracy Groups on Super Tuesday

Election integrity group Common Cause pointed out in a post on X that the picture wasn’t actually showing a voting machine but rather what's called an “emergency drawer.”

“It is a locked, secure ballot receptacle to store and scan ballots ensuring they're included in the polling place's count at the end of the day,” the group explained.

Oregon Capital Chronicle: House leaders make last-ditch effort on campaign finance reform

Kate Titus, executive director of Common Cause Oregon, called the amendment “a testament to the hubris of the political donor class” in written testimony. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Common Cause supports IP 9, the stricter measure backed by Honest Elections Oregon.

“Oregon voters will have no trouble seeing through this,” Titus wrote.

San Francisco Chronicle/CalMatters: Cupertino Lawmaker Co-Authors Bill To Translate Ballots, Help More Non-English Speakers Vote

"We want voters to trust the government and that boils down to a voter in any community being able to understand what is happening in their own community," said Pedro Hernandez, a policy director at California Common Cause, which cosponsored the bill.

"In order for California to build trust, it has to be a multiracial and multilingual democracy, which means prioritizing and centering in language access," said Hernandez at Common Cause.

Common Cause was one of a dozen organizations that participated in the...

Houston Chronicle: His life became a ‘nightmare’ when he went viral for voting in Texas. The trauma still lingers.

Rogers' instinct could be correct, according to Anthony Gutierrez, the executive director of Common Cause Texas.

“Cases like this can absolutely have a chilling effect, and you have to wonder if that’s part of the point,” Gutierrez said. “The state could very easily take proactive steps to ensure people who are starting probation or parole are clearly told how their legal status impacts their ability to vote.”

Colorado Newsline: „Schwarzer Tag für die Demokratie“: Einwohner Colorados weisen auf Wahlbedrohungen nach Urteil zum 14. Verfassungszusatz hin

In einer Erklärung bezeichnete Aly Belknap, Geschäftsführerin der gemeinnützigen Organisation Colorado Common Cause, die mehrere Amicus Curiae-Schriftsätze zur Unterstützung der Kläger aus Colorado eingereicht hatte, das Urteil als „einen schwarzen Tag für unsere Demokratie“.

„Donald Trump hat gelogen, betrogen und Gewalt entfesselt, als die Wahl nicht zu seinen Gunsten ausfiel, und seine anhaltende Hetze hat zu einem beispiellosen Anstieg von Angriffen und Morddrohungen gegen Wahlhelfer, Richter und andere Staatsbedienstete geführt“, sagte Belknap. „Indem er sich weigerte, Trump festzuhalten...

Santa Fe New Mexican (Op-Ed): Bemühungen zur Modernisierung der Legislative fallen dem kaputten System zum Opfer

Außenstehenden, die in unseren Staat kommen, fällt oft auf, dass New Mexico in puncto Infrastruktur, Bildung, Armut, Wohlergehen der Gemeinschaft und praktisch jeder anderen Statistik, mit der man den Erfolg einer Gesellschaft misst, im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Staaten um Jahre zurückliegt.

Dieser Ruf geht mit einer mangelhaften Gesetzgebungsstruktur einher, die den Fortschritt auf vielen Ebenen behindert. Wir sind der einzige Staat, in dem die Gesetzgeber kein Gehalt erhalten. Den meisten fehlt es an professionellem Personal für politische Forschung und Wählerbetreuung, und sie tagen nur für die drittkürzeste Zeit...

Honolulu Star Advertiser: 5 Questions: Camron Hurt, of Common Cause Hawaii

What aspect of “good government” does Hawaii do well, and where does it need the most improvement?

Hawaii is truly a dynamic state. Areas of good governance that Hawaii does well include human rights as well as establishing safe avenues for citizen participation in democracy.

However, this is simply not enough as we continue to struggle with participation in democracy, transparency and strategic vision. Perhaps the aspect of good governance that is most missing from our state would be strong and pragmatic...

Protections of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Needed Now More than Ever

The federal protections of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are critically important for Congress to pass at a moment in our history when the freedom to vote is under attack in our nation. A bedrock of our democracy, the freedom to vote has been under sustained assault since the 2020 election with dozens of anti-voter laws passed in states all across the country to make it harder for Americans – particularly in Black and brown communities - to have a say in choosing their elected leaders.

Mercury News: The campaign to replace U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo is California’s most expensive House race. Here’s where the money is flowing.

Sean McMorris, the transparency, ethics and accountability program manager for good government group California Common Cause, said it becomes an accountability issue because some self-funded candidates don’t engage with voters as much because they don’t need to solicit as many donations.

“Money should not dictate who should run for office or who gets elected,” he said.

At the congressional level, money plays a large role in the election, and while McMorris said it’s not the “determining factor,”...
