De la corrupción a la rendición de cuentas: reformando la política de pago por juego en Atlanta

Durante décadas, la ciudad de Atlanta ha enfrentado una corrupción institucionalizada que ha obstaculizado su potencial como centro cultural, comercial e internacional. Common Cause Georgia expuso esta corrupción a través de un nuevo informe titulado “The Atlanta Way: Examining Pay-to-Play” (El estilo de Atlanta: análisis del pago por participación).

Yahoo! News/Texas Tribune: La mayoría de los jóvenes de 18 años de Texas no están inscritos para votar a pesar de una ley que exige el registro de votantes en las escuelas secundarias

Katya Ehresman, directora del programa de derechos electorales de Common Cause Texas, señaló que algunos estados recompensan a las escuelas que registran a los estudiantes. Tennessee reconoce a las escuelas que alcanzan un cierto umbral de registro de votantes, y Pensilvania tiene un premio de participación cívica del gobernador para celebrar a las escuelas que registran al 85% de estudiantes elegibles para votar, por ejemplo.

Common Cause también recomienda que la oficina del secretario de estado envíe por correo a cada escuela las solicitudes de registro de votantes, en lugar de exigir a las escuelas que las soliciten dos veces al año.

Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer: FirstEnergy made secret $1 million payment for ‘Husted campaign’ in 2017, documents show

Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio, said the records showing the payment is another example of why Ohio needs greater transparency in political spending. We're still learning about public officials proximity to a bribery scandal after years of a swarm of criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations, she said.

The complicated picture is a feature and not a bug, she said. The system is built to hide malfeasance.

"What we do know from this is the governor and lieutenant governor are very...

Washington Times: Defendants not named ‘Trump’ usually go to trial years after indictment

Meanwhile, the fair election advocacy group Common Cause filed a brief supporting Mr. Smith at the Supreme Court in the D.C. case over Mr. Trump's claim of absolute immunity, saying the justices must decide the issue swiftly so the trial can take place before the November election and, ironically, so politics don't appear to be at play.

"The American people deserve a trial and a verdict on these serious charges before they go to the polls in November," said Virginia Kase Solomón, president of Common Cause. "The presumptive...

Common Cause insta a la Corte Suprema a que dicte sentencia rápidamente en el caso Trump vs. EE. UU. para evitar la percepción de parcialidad

Hoy, Common Cause presentó un escrito amicus curiae ante la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos instando a la corte a decidir Donald J. Trump v. United States con celeridad para evitar percepciones de sesgo político y permitir que se celebre un juicio en un tribunal inferior del expresidente por cargos de conspiración y corrupción antes de las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre.

PolitiFact: FALSE: Texas found that 95,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.

"For those of us who’ve worked in Texas politics for years, it was a huge deal because you almost never see a gubernatorial appointee fail to get confirmed by the state senate," Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a voting advocacy group, told PolitiFact. "It goes to show just how wildly false their claim of 95,000 non-citizens being on the voter rolls was that it resulted in the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature refusing to confirm the nomination of the Republican governor."

Salon/Yahoo! News: Rebooting digital equality: FCC to restore net neutrality, reversing Trump-era repeal

Government watchdog group Common Cause has long championed net neutrality protections, arguing that the rules protect the public's right to the equal access of publicly-funded internet infrastructure.

“The internet is a gateway to democracy for many and every voter has the right to a free and fair internet. From looking up information about candidates to finding polling sites, this net neutrality proposal will make it easier for every voter to participate in our modern democracy. We strongly encourage the FCC to restore net...

Star Tribune/Yahoo! News: ‘Book Senator Hoffman to speak’: DFL state senator’s consulting firm raises ethical questions

Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera, executive director of Common Cause Minnesota, a nonprofit that advocates for government transparency, also had concerns. She said, "Sen. Hoffman's use of this title for marketing his consulting business as 'senator', along with the use of pictures taken while at the Capitol campus, can arguably be seen as him leveraging his public role for private gain."

Belladonna-Carrera suggested the legislative branch could benefit from having clearer rules for lawmakers.

"This branch of...

NBC News: Wisconsin voters approve two GOP-backed ballot measures that will change how elections are run

“In the April elections Wisconsin tends to have low turnout, and not many people are going to look at these [closely]. Maybe they’ll read it and think, ‘yeah, that sounds reasonable,’” Jay Heck, the executive director of Common Cause Wisconsin, the state’s branch of the national nonpartisan government watchdog group, said ahead of the results. “But they are both the product of election denial.”

Their impact could be notable, Heck suggested. With avenues for additional funding roped off, and with the scope of who...

CBS/Associated Press: Writing the wrong date on your mail-in ballot in Pa. could get your vote thrown out, judges rule

Common Cause Pennsylvania issued this statement about the ruling:

"This ruling means that counties will be permitted to throw out ballots that were submitted in time, for reasons irrelevant to the voters' eligibility to vote. We are disheartened by this ruling and maintain our position that every voter who makes the effort to participate should have their vote counted. But our work will continue regardless. Though this ruling will undoubtedly have a negative impact on elderly voters and voters of color, we will work with...

Miami Herald/Orlando Sentinel (Editorial): Lawmakers make it easier for corruption to flourish

Common Cause Florida and eight other groups are urging DeSantis to veto the bill, calling the personal knowledge standard “an unreasonably high evidentiary hurdle that has never existed in the 50-year history of the Commission. Instead, complaints should continue to require the filer to certify that the information is true to the best of their knowledge, which already discourages false and frivolous complaints.”
