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...

Common Cause Urges Senators to Vote “Yes” to Advance the For the People Act

Today, Common Cause urged every member of the U.S. Senate to vote “yes” to advance the For the People Act in a vote expected later this week. The letter notes that Common Cause plans to score this vote in the next version of our Democracy Scorecard which we send to our 1.5 million members. The pro-voter, anti-corruption bill contains the most comprehensive set of democracy reforms to be introduced in Congress since the post-Watergate reforms were passed in the 1970s. The letter emphasizes that our democracy faces a crisis in the wake of...

Common Cause President Karen Hobert Flynn reminds us, “ALEC has a long history of rigging the rules against everyday Americans while skirting ethics and tax laws.” And now, she adds, “ALEC…is working behind the scenes to restrict voting rights.” This week, more than 300 voting rights organizations and their allies, including Common Cause, Public Citizen, Fair Fight Action, Color of Change, the AFL-CIO, and the League of Women Voters, demanded that major corporations cut their financial ties with ALEC.

Sinclair Broadcasting: Political obstacles mount as progressives press Dems to act on voting rights

That is no longer necessary with advances in electronic record keeping and technology that synchronizes voter registration records with state motor vehicle databases.

Jimenez believes the switch to...
