Grupos instan a realizar cambios en el censo para contar con precisión las poblaciones carcelarias para la redistribución de distritos

Hoy, Common Cause y la Prison Policy Initiative instaron a la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos a cambiar la forma en que cuenta las poblaciones carcelarias cada década. El uso que hace la Oficina de la privacidad diferencial, la infusión intencional de información inexacta en los datos de población, crea recuentos incorrectos innecesarios en los datos que utilizan los funcionarios estatales y locales para la redistribución de distritos. En una carta al director Robert L. Santos y otros funcionarios de alto rango, los grupos enfatizaron que las poblaciones de los centros penitenciarios ya están disponibles públicamente y que la privacidad diferencial es...

Associated Press: Cuomo’s drive to dominate led to success, and his downfall

“The country was mesmerized by Gov. Cuomo’s blunt talk about the pandemic, but he didn’t even follow the experts,” said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause, a good government group that has long butted heads with Cuomo. “That’s emblematic of his style: The performance looks great, but when you get into the details, there are big holes and very little substance.”

John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is Critical to Protecting Every American’s Freedom to Vote

It is critically important that Congress pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect the freedom to vote of every American. The legislation, introduced today in the United States House of Representatives, will repair much of the damage done to the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts. In concert with the For the People Act, this legislation will curb the coordinated effort by Republican state legislatures across the country to silence Black and Brown voters who showed up in record numbers...

CBS This Morning (VIDEO): How latest census data may shift balance of power in the U.S.: “Most voters don’t even know about it”

"The politician chooses their district and their voters, and if they don't like a group of their voters, they can carve them off and move them someplace else," said Michael Goff, Maryland president of Common Cause. "They can create their own safe district, what we call safe seats."

Common Cause pushes states to turn census numbers over to independent commissions to draw nonpartisan congressional maps.

"It's a once-in-ten-year process," said Goff. "Probably the most important political development of the next ten...

Salon: Biden team calls for “out-organizing” voter suppression — activists say that’s insulting

Litigation and organizing will be key components in the Democratic strategy to counter the onslaught of new election laws, "but can only go so far," Aaron Scherb, the director of legislative affairs at the nonpartisan voting group Common Cause, told Salon, calling the White House line about "out-organizing" voter suppression "insulting to the hundreds of thousands of organizers who worked tirelessly to turn out voters." ...

"Certainly the White House has made the calculation that infrastructure's extremely important, which it...

Reuters: In U.S. redistricting fight, citizens come armed with a new weapon: their own maps

(Reuters) - On a recent evening, Tyler Daye, an organizer with Common Cause North Carolina, hosted an online seminar for residents of the city of Wilson on an important but arcane topic: redistricting.

With the help of publicly available mapping software known as Districtr, Daye clicked through maps of federal and state voting districts, showing how in each case Republican lawmakers in 2011 neatly cleaved the city in two, dividing the largely Black eastern half from the mostly white western half.

Politico: Redistricting sprint begins with major census data drop

“Where do we know people are, but they just weren't counted because of unusual circumstances?” said Kathay Feng, the national redistricting director at the good-government group Common Cause. She noted that in addition to the significant problems caused by pandemic, this was the first time the Census Bureau pushed people to respond online, a major shift for the agency.

“It’s sort of like the Hubble telescope. It’s the best that we got, but we know there’s a scratch on it,” she added. “Can we figure out exactly...

The Census data will provide the information our communities need to draw fair maps and ensure everyone is represented in our government.

Gannett/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Ron Johnson defends pass-through tax provision as Democrats accuse him of doing the bidding of his top donors

Jay Heck of Common Cause Wisconsin called the tax provision "one of the most glaring examples of quid-pro-quo pay-to-play politics I've ever seen."

"The idea a U.S. Senator would stand in the way of a major initiative of his own party on a very specific provision of a complicated tax bill, and the fact it benefited two of his largest donors, I just think is pretty eye-opening," he said. "My goodness what a great investment for the Uihleins and Diane Hendricks."

Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times: High stakes redistricting process to start. Will Florida redeem bruised reputation?

When there is no guarantee of serious competition, “incumbents have no motivation to work across the aisle and more importantly, little to no motivation to actually represent all of the people in their community, rather than just kind of those steadfast supporters that form the core of their districts,’’ said Suzanne Almeida, redistricting and representation counsel at Common Cause.
