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.

Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause and Other Good Government Groups File Amicus Brief Supporting the FEC’s Efforts to Prevent Corruption in Ted Cruz Loan Repayment Case

Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause and Other Good Government Groups File Amicus Brief Supporting the FEC’s Efforts to Prevent Corruption in Ted Cruz Loan Repayment Case

"Allowing donors to repay candidates’ loans is a shell game that breeds cynicism about our elections. Campaign donations end up in the candidate’s pocket, after the election – while voters are deprived of information about who’s funding the candidate, while deciding how to vote."

CNN: More than a year after Donald Trump’s loss, Wisconsin Republicans wage relentless attacks on the state’s election commission

Johnson's calls for a legislative takeover of the elections system demonstrate "the firm grasp that the (Donald) Trump wing of the Republican Party has not only everywhere, but particularly here in Wisconsin," said Jay Heck, who runs the state branch of Common Cause.

"It's a lot of political bluster, but it has to be taken seriously in these times," he added.

Houston Chronicle: Gov. Abbott uses emergency power to fund $4 million audit of 2020 Texas election results

"How much taxpayer money is it going to take, to convince former President Trump that he lost the 2020 election?" said Stephanie Gómez, associate director of the Common Cause Texas advocacy group. "Wisconsin taxpayers are spending almost $700,000. Arizona taxpayers are on the hook for millions. Now, using emergency powers, Governor Abbott has got Texas taxpayers on the hook for $4 million more."

Politico Playbook Deep Dive (AUDIO): Kiss your swing districts goodbye

“This is a bit of my reformer hat on, but if we have to go another decade with maps that are ultimately found to be unconstitutional two or three cycles later on, it's dreadful. It just completely sinks a lot of us who are doing the work's morale and hopefulness. And I think increasingly in North Carolina, because we are the most litigated state in the country, I believe, over gerrymandered maps. A lot of the big U.S. Supreme Court cases have come out of North Carolina over the years. And sure, there are a lot of people here who don't know...

Salon: Ohio Senate approves “extreme” gerrymandered map favoring GOP

"Announcing a new map late in the evening, just hours before a vote, with no opportunity or possibility even for in-depth analysis or discussion, is disrespectful," said Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio, after the first vote.

"In 2018, Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved transparent and bipartisan mapmaking with meaningful opportunities for public input," Turcer added. "Ohio voters deserve better."

Common Cause Calls for Censure and Expulsion of Rep. Gosar for Violent Incitement

Common Cause is urging the U.S. House of Representatives to expel Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and as a first step vote to censure and strip him of his committee assignments after he circulated a video depicting him killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and attacking President Biden. The letter, sent today to every U.S. Representative, emphasizes that removing the Arizona Republican from his committee assignments is the most lenient penalty that should be levelled against any member for such nakedly irresponsible and dangerous...

Daily Beast: Mercers Throw Steve Bannon Under the Bus in Election Probe

Paul Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, filed the initial 2018 complaint against Cambridge and Trump. He also blamed the GOP.

“It’s more of the same, with the FEC’s Republican commissioners dragging their feet, allowing the statute of limitations to expire, and hobbling or blocking investigations entirely,” Ryan said. “The result is no enforcement of the law.”

New York Times: Three Men Charged With Running ‘Scam PACs’ That Bilked Small Donors

Paul S. Ryan, the vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, a watchdog group, called the indictment “good news for democracy and small donors,” adding that Mr. Tunstall was perhaps the best known of the fund-raising operatives taking advantage of donors in this way.

“This should send a sign to potential scam artists that the Department of Justice is watching,” Mr. Ryan said.
Mr. Ryan said he expected that a superseding indictment would eventually cover Mr. Tunstall’s past four years of activity....

Paul S. Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at campaign watchdog Common Cause, said the allegations cover “massive violations,” including breaking a law more than 100 years old.

“Federal law prohibits candidates from receiving contributions from corporations. This law has been on the books for more than a century for the purpose of preventing politicians from being in the pocket of big corporations,” Ryan told The Daily Beast. The audit, he said, “shows his campaign likely committed massive violations of...
