Des groupes demandent des changements dans le recensement pour compter avec précision la population carcérale en vue du redécoupage des circonscriptions

Aujourd'hui, Common Cause et la Prison Policy Initiative ont exhorté le Bureau du recensement des États-Unis à modifier la manière dont il recense la population carcérale chaque décennie. L'utilisation par le Bureau de la confidentialité différentielle, l'incorporation intentionnelle d'informations inexactes dans les données démographiques, crée des erreurs de comptage inutiles dans les données utilisées par les autorités locales et étatiques pour le redécoupage des circonscriptions. Dans une lettre adressée au directeur Robert L. Santos et à d'autres hauts fonctionnaires, les groupes ont souligné que les populations des établissements pénitentiaires sont déjà accessibles au public et que la confidentialité différentielle est essentielle pour la réalisation de ces objectifs.

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...

Reuters: Colorado leads U.S. states with first look at new congressional districts

"Colorado is modeling how the country could be governing itself in the future," said Kathay Feng, the national redistricting director for good-government watchdog Common Cause. "It is an explicit rejection of the scorched-earth tactic that has been used by some party leaders, a way of demonstrating that we can bring people back to the table and make democracy work," Feng said.

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

“Having more voting rights lawyers at DOJ is extremely helpful, but as Attorney General Garland himself said, they also need Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the For the People Act to give DOJ the tools it needs,” said Aaron Scherb, director of legislative affairs for advocacy group Common Cause. ...

Scherb, whose organization participates in the Deadline for Democracy effort, said the legislative process is inching ahead slowly, despite Manchin’s public rejection of the For the People Act. Advocates...

Associated Press: New Mexico rolls out same-day voter registration program

Previously, voter registration was halted 28 days before any election as a precaution against possible double-voting while county clerks updated registration rolls painstakingly by hand with paper and ink, said Mario Jimenez, a policy campaign manager with the progressive good-government group Common Cause New Mexico.

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...
