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.

Broadcasting & Cable: Bipartisan Privacy Bill Would Limit Targeted Advertising

“We are glad to see that the American Data Privacy and Protection Act is going to a full committee markup, and that Republican and Democratic leadership on the House Energy & Commerce Committee has come together on a comprehensive privacy proposal to protect our data online," Common Cause media and democracy program director Yosef Getachew said.

Watchdog group Common Cause is particularly heartened by the inclusion of civil-rights protections, given that privacy and data abuses have hit minority communities particularly hard,...

American Data Privacy & Protection Act Committee Markup Welcomed by Common Cause

On Wednesday July 20, 2022, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a markup of the “American Data Privacy and Protection Act” (H.R. 8152). The bill would establish a comprehensive national data privacy and data security framework. Among other provisions, the framework includes: data minimization provisions that will prevent companies from collecting consumer data beyond what is necessary to provide products or services; individual rights allowing consumers to access, correct, and delete their data; and civil rights protections...

Indianapolis Star: Secretary of State candidate Diego Morales used campaign funds for $43,000 car

Julia Vaughn, executive director of Common Cause Indiana, a government accountability group, said it's "unusual" for a candidate to spend that much money on a new vehicle.

"Certainly a state wide candidate, we've seen them use campaign money to support transportation costs, but typically it's a more measured approach — they lease a vehicle, enter into some sort of long term rental," Vaughn told IndyStar. "To buy a vehicle for $43,000 in June when you know you won't be using it for campaign purposes after the first Tuesday in...

Harper,” whether the 1965 Voting Rights Act offers sufficient protections to these efforts to concentrate elections power among legislators, and the harm caused...

San Antonio Express-News/Houston Chronicle: AG Ken Paxton removes one more tooth from notoriously toothless Texas campaign finance laws

“We have very few rules when it comes to campaign finance in Texas, and the few that we do have are not enforced, clearly,” said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a government watchdog group. “What’s the point of even having the rules?”

"The election would have looked very different," if the Supreme Court had embraced the legal theory the North Carolina lawmakers are pushing, said Suzanne Almeida, redistricting and representation counsel for Common Cause. "The scariest piece is that this is a fundamental reimagining of the relationship between state courts, state constitutions and state legislatures that is more likely to undermine the will of the people being upheld."

Aunna Dennis, executive director of democracy non-profit Common Cause Georgia, said she was “encouraged” by the grand jury’s progress.

“The coordinated attempts by former President Donald Trump and his associates to discount and ignore the will of Georgian voters during the 2020 election cannot be swept under the rug,” she told The Independent via email this week.

“Georgia can not continue to be the testing grounds for sensationalized propaganda attempts that are designed to deter voters from...

“What’s happening is that mechanisms of voter suppression are getting more sophisticated and more tailored," said Sylvia Albert, director of voting and elections at the good government group Common Cause.

That isn't limited to new Americans. People who were born at home or on reservations or those whose documents were lost in natural disasters could have their right to vote jeopardized by similar laws, Albert said.
