Government Accountability Groups Urge House to Strengthen the Office of Congressional Ethics and Make It Permanent

Today, Common Cause and other government accountability groups urged every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to strengthen the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and make the office permanent. Even if Congress does not codify the OCE into law at this time, the groups stress the importance of maintaining the office’s continued existence and the importance of not weakening it in the 119th Congress. The letter emphasizes overwhelming public support for increased ethics and accountability measures and touts the success of...

Nuevo informe: Los primeros 15 años de la Oficina de Ética del Congreso: éxitos, supervivencia y recomendaciones

Mientras la Oficina de Ética del Congreso (OCE) cumple sus primeros 15 años, Common Cause publica “The Little Engine that Could”, un breve análisis que examina el impacto del organismo de control en la Cámara de Representantes. El informe examina la historia detrás de la creación de la OCE, su exitoso historial no partidista y los intentos más serios de los miembros de la Cámara de debilitar o eliminar por completo al organismo de control. El informe también sugiere reformas, como codificar la OCE en una ley y otorgarle poder de citación, para fortalecer aún más el sistema independiente...

Orlando Sentinel: Florida ethics overhaul will leave corruption unchecked, watchdog groups warn

Common Cause Florida and eight other advocacy groups are urging DeSantis to veto the bill, which they say would erect an “unreasonable barrier” and deter people from filing ethics complaints against politicians and public officials. For instance, complaints could not be filed based solely on investigative news articles.

“This isn’t about minimizing frivolous complaints; this is about making complaints almost impossible,” Amy Keith, executive director of Common Cause Florida, said in a prepared statement. “The people...

NBC News: Wisconsin is lagging behind other swing states in shoring up election policies following 2020 chaos

Jay Heck, the executive director Common Cause Wisconsin, the state’s branch of the national nonpartisan government watchdog group, added that the consequences could be dire if the right mix of circumstances were to emerge on or following Election Day.

“It could all explode,” he said.

The April 2 primary ballot in Wisconsin will ask voters to decide on two proposed constitutional amendments that critics contend are byproducts of conspiracy theories touted by election deniers.

Minnesota Reformer (artículo de opinión): Minnesota necesita una comisión ciudadana independiente para la redistribución de distritos

Hasta que aprobemos una enmienda constitucional que cree una comisión independiente de redistribución de distritos, el poder siempre estará en manos de los intereses partidistas de quienes trazan nuestros mapas de votación por distrito. Es hora de que recuperemos el poder. Las reformas deberían venir de nosotros, los habitantes de Minnesota afectados, no del establishment legislativo o partidario.

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 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: 'Un día oscuro para la democracia': los habitantes de Colorado destacan las amenazas electorales tras el fallo de la 14ª Enmienda

En una declaración, Aly Belknap, directora ejecutiva de la organización sin fines de lucro Colorado Common Cause, que presentó varios escritos amicus, o amigos de la corte, en apoyo de los demandantes de Colorado, calificó el fallo como "un día oscuro para nuestra democracia".

“Donald Trump mintió, hizo trampa y desató la violencia cuando las elecciones no salieron como él quería, y su incitación constante ha provocado un aumento sin precedentes de ataques y amenazas de muerte contra trabajadores electorales, jueces y otros servidores públicos”, dijo Belknap. “Al negarse a mantener a Trump bajo custodia...
