Trump doit signer un engagement éthique et des documents de transition

Le président élu Donald Trump n’a toujours pas signé les documents juridiques – notamment un engagement éthique – nécessaires pour entamer officiellement la transition du pouvoir de son administration. Les candidats déposent généralement ces documents bien avant l’élection. En raison de ce retard, le gouvernement ne peut pas fournir d’habilitations de sécurité, de briefings et de ressources à la nouvelle équipe de Trump avant qu’il ne prête serment le 20 janvier.

Washington Times: California governor calls for U.S. constitutional amendment on gun control

Viki Harrison, director of constitutional convention programs at Common Cause, said her organization supports efforts to curb gun violence, but she said calling a convention “could put all of our civil rights up for grabs.”

“A constitutional convention is not the way to go and could actually make reducing gun violence worse at the end of the day because gun interests could re-write the constitution,” she told The Washington Times. “With no rules in place, and many convention proponents advocating for the same number of...

Charlotte Observer (Editorial): Supreme Court’s Alabama voting map ruling offers hope to North Carolina

Common Cause North Carolina, a group that has mounted legal challenges to the legislature’s attempt to expand gerrymandering and limit Black voting power, applauded the court’s rebuke of Alabama. “Today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court is a victory for American democracy and voters everywhere. This decision should serve as a clear warning to North Carolina politicians that racist gerrymandering and attacks on voting rights will not stand,” said Bob Phillips, the group’s executive director.

Tallahassee Democrat/Gannett: Alabama redistricting ruling ‘opens the window to hope’ for Florida challengers

“We’re very hopeful that what came out in Alabama will bode well for Florida,” said Kathay Feng, vice president of programs for Common Cause, which is among the plaintiffs suing Florida in federal court over the congressional map.

Feng said justices clearly signaled that the “Voting Rights Act is not dead.”

“Protections against racial gerrymandering are not dead and if the historical record and the facts show themselves to be worthy, the Supreme Court will find there is racial gerrymandering and will...

Salon: RFK Jr. and the con men candidates: more than a sideshow — they’re a real threat to democracy

"We do not have a clear picture of who is pumping significant money into our elections," Stephen Spaulding, the vice president of policy at Common Cause, told Salon. Especially after the disastrous 2013 Supreme Court decision dismantling much campaign finance law, he explained, there's "a universe of money influencing our elections that are coming from somewhere in large amounts, but we don't know where it's coming from."

While cautioning there's no legal way to distinguish real candidates from people who are in it for the...

McClatchy: Comer places FBI Director in contempt crosshairs over Biden informant document

“The former President’s own Attorney General William Barr already declined to pursue this investigation several years ago,” said Aaron Scherb, the senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause. “FBI Director Christopher Wray is a lifelong Republican and member of the Federalist Society. This committee vote to hold him in contempt is yet another example of congressional Republicans trying to weaponize the federal government when they disagree with the outcome.”

Associated Press : La Cour suprême a rejeté le cœur de la loi sur le droit de vote il y a dix ans, déclenchant une vague de nouvelles règles électorales

Les groupes de défense du droit de vote estiment que cela ne signifie pas que le vote est facile et ils ont réagi aux restrictions en adoptant de nouvelles stratégies. En Géorgie, par exemple, Common Cause a installé des stations d’impression mobiles dans tout l’État afin que les électeurs puissent se conformer aux nouvelles règles d’inscription sur les listes électorales qui exigent une signature à l’encre sur un formulaire imprimé.

« C'est seulement grâce au travail de toutes ces communautés et de tous ces groupes sur le terrain que les électeurs ont accès au vote », a déclaré Sylvia Albert, directrice nationale du groupe chargée du vote et des élections. « Mais en procédant ainsi...

The Lever: Ron DeSantis’ Crusade Against Campaign Finance Laws

The New Yorker: How a Fringe Legal Theory Became a Threat to Democracy

Flight attendants use euphemistic doublespeak because, understandably, they want to avoid terms like “hijacking” and "September 11th.” For similar reasons, Jones spoke in broad terms, without directly invoking Trump or January 6th. (There were also other reasons for this, such as Common Cause’s nonpartisan status.) Even so, the implications were clear. At one point, an organizer sitting in the audience stood, using a cane, and gave an impromptu speech, urging listeners to imagine a Supreme Court opinion that enabled legislatures to rig...

Texas Tribune/VoteBeat: Harris County elections face state intervention under new laws

Katya Ehresman, voting rights program director with Common Cause Texas, said voters, county officials and election administrators should have been given the opportunity to testify about legislation set to directly impact them.

Ehresman said that process was concerning and “against values of transparency and public input, which should be core parts of the legislative process.”

“These bills do have a tangible effect on voter turnout, voter apathy, and on the ability for elections administrators to do their job...
