Omaha World-Herald: Nebraska Gov. Pillen not releasing event schedule, criticized for lack of access, accountability

Gavin Geis, executive director for Common Cause Nebraska, said he believes Pillen should continue the tradition of governors sharing their schedule with the public.

“Government transparency and accountability are not just enshrined in state law but are what Nebraskans expect from elected leaders,” he said.

“The governor’s schedule gives us all insight into his priorities and helps keep the public informed about the work he’s doing on our behalf,” Geis continued. “While it may be an afterthought for...

SCOTUS-Einreichung: Verfahren im Fall der Neugliederung der Wahlbezirke in North Carolina ändert nichts an der Entscheidungsbefugnis im Fall Moore v. Harper

Der Oberste Gerichtshof der USA sollte die gefährliche und abwegige Theorie der unabhängigen Landesparlamente (ISLT), die im Fall Moore v. Harper dargelegt wurde, zurückweisen, ungeachtet der höchst ungewöhnlichen Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichtshofs von North Carolina, die Abhilfeentscheidung im Fall Harper v. Hall erneut zu verhandeln, heißt es in einem Antwortschreiben eines neuen Klägers an den Obersten Gerichtshof.

Arizona Republic: Arizona bills would post voters’ names, addresses, birth years and ballot images

The right to privately and securely cast a ballot, a pillar of voting rights, has stood the test of time as Arizona’s democracy has faced increasing attacks in recent years. The Arizona Constitution affirms “secrecy in voting shall be preserved,” but Senate Bill 1324 and House Bill 2560 put this at risk.

The companion bills, dubbed the “Voter Privacy Violation Act” by civil rights advocates, would make Arizona an extreme outlier by posting detailed voter data and unfiltered ballot images online during the critical...

CNHI News: Georgia Republicans continue to crack down on donations for elections

Anne Gray Herring of Common Cause Georgia said SB 222 creates another deterrent for counties already struggling to recruit and retain election workers.

"Our county elections offices are already overburdened and underfunded," Gray Herring said. "This would cut off one of the few remaining means to receive additional funding and prohibit boards of commissioners from choosing to allocate funds to their county elections offices when they identify a need. The county governing authority should have the discretion to provide additional...

Texas Tribune: Texas Senate passes bill to make illegal voting a felony again

Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager for Common Cause Texas, said everyone knows a voter, a friend or a neighbor who could be affected by the pending legislation.

Ehresman said that in some scenarios a person might attempt to vote absentee by mail because they’re 65 or they’re disabled. If they can’t tell whether their ballot was received and are confused about whether their vote was counted, they might try to go vote in person and cast a provisional ballot.

“That voter could be liable under SB 2...

Dallas Morning News: Texas’ top election official lays groundwork to leave voter fraud prevention program

The government accountability group Common Cause Texas called the move "another attempt to scare voters away from the ballot box by sewing doubt in the integrity of our elections."

"Either this is a hasty move in response to partisan pressure, which should be discouraged from the Secretary of State's office, or it is a deceitful omission that should be looked at skeptically," Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager for the organization said in a news release. "Texas should focus on strengthening the security of our...

Bloomberg: Urteil zu Bestechungsvorwürfen in Ohio zeigt Grenzen von Citizens United

Das Urteil hat weitreichende Folgen für Ohio und den Rest des Landes. Denn es zeigt, dass Citizens United zwar die Schleusen für Unternehmensgelder geöffnet hat, „das heißt aber nicht, dass Pay-to-Play legal oder richtig ist“, sagt Catherine Turcer, Geschäftsführerin von Common Cause Ohio und seit langem eine Verfechterin der Wahlkampffinanzierung und Regierungsreform in Ohio.

„Die Bürger von Ohio können heute Abend beruhigt sein, denn sie wissen, dass endlich jemand zur Rechenschaft gezogen wird“, sagte sie.
