Albuquerque Journal (Op-Ed): NM elected officials still under the influence of alcohol industry
The alcohol industry is at it again.
For three decades the industry, its powerful lobbyists and its allies in the hospitality industry have been successful in staving off increases in the state’s alcohol excise tax with arguments about how even a modest increase will hurt restaurants and local breweries. Increased prices for alcohol won’t result in less drinking anyhow, they say. The argument was most recently echoed in an Albuquerque Journal editorial.

Honolulu Star Advertiser: Saiki supports bills for full public financing of political campaigns
Camron Hurt, program manager for Common Cause Hawaii, said full public financing of political candidates would allow elected officials to focus on voters’ concerns and not special interests “by removing big money from our politics.”
At the same, Hurt said, “I hope it allows for greater participation from the candidates, for a kid growing up in Pauoa or Nanakuli.”
“Having the speaker’s unwavering support and leadership in this bill is astronomical at a risk to his own seat, at risk to his own...

Politico: Seeing a viral pro-Biden TikTok? A PAC might have paid for it.
Ishan Mehta, the director for media and democracy at watchdog group Common Cause, said he was disappointed the FEC decided not to require paid influencer disclosures. He said regulations on paid social media political content should be the same as those for political television and print ads, which are required by the FEC to include disclaimers.
“The ability to pay influencers to carry their message on behalf of a campaign is a loophole,” he said.

Common Dreams: ‘Political Deepfake Moment Is Here’: NH Robocall Sounds Like Biden
Also on Monday, Public Citizen and Common Cause submitted petitions urging state election officials in Alabama, Louisiana, and Wisconsin to regulate deepfakes in political campaign communications.
"AI deepfakes represent a very clear and present danger to our democracy," said Ishan Mehta, director of Common Cause's media and democracy program. "The opportunity for deceiving and misleading voters has never been so acute as it is today with the vast improvements in fake computer-generated images and voices."

Public News Service: Good-government groups speak out after fentanyl sent to CA elections office
Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause, said while no one was hurt, the attempt to poison or kill an election worker is despicable.
"It's to destabilize our elections and to scare the public servants who run them," Mehta Stein pointed out. "And to make all of us more fearful of participating in our democracy."
Mehta Stein blamed the rise in threats to election workers on the litany of false conspiracy theories claiming the 2020 election was rigged.

공공 뉴스 서비스: 투표권 단체, 헌법 제정 노력을 민주주의에 대한 위협이라고 주장
매사추세츠 주 커먼코즈의 대표이사인 제프 포스터는 헌법에 대회를 운영하는 방법에 대한 규칙이 없으며, 수정헌법 제1조조차도 안전할 것이라는 보장이 없다고 말했습니다.
포스터는 "만약 우리가 이 판도라의 상자를 연다면 우리 헌법에 이미 규정된 모든 것에 큰 위험과 큰 잠재적 피해가 초래될 것"이라고 경고했다.
포스터는 대회를 통해 선출되지 않은 대의원과 특수이익집단이 자신들의 의제를 창립 문서에 포함시킬 가능성이 있다고 지적했습니다.

Providence Journal: 로드아일랜드 주민이 등록한 당일에 투표할 수 있어야 할까? 양측의 의견
당일 등록의 어떤 버전을 제공하는 22개 주 중 Common Cause RI의 전무 이사인 존 매리언은 "어떤 주는 거주 기한이 없고, 어떤 주는 기한이 길다. 모두 거주 요건이 있다"고 말합니다. 법적 선례에 따라 허용되는 최대 기간은 30일입니다.
올해의 법안 버전은 아직 도입되지 않았지만, Marion은 그의 그룹의 의도를 확인했습니다. 11월에 유권자들이 폐지를 승인하면 "우리는 당일 유권자 등록을 허용하는 시행령을 옹호할 것입니다."

Colorado Newsline: Trump brief asks Supreme Court to put ‘decisive end’ to 14th Amendment challenges
Colorado Common Cause, which supported the plaintiffs’ case with an amicus, or friend-of-the-court, brief before the Colorado Supreme Court, on Friday urged the U.S. Supreme Court “to set a critical legal precedent to safeguard the future of American democracy.”

PolitiFact: FALSE: “Illegal immigrants now have the right to vote in New York.”
Susan Lerner, the executive director of the voting rights group Common Cause New York, said that only U.S. citizens can vote in New York state.
"Permanent residents and people authorized to work here are documented and approved by the federal government," Lerner said. "They pay state and federal taxes, and pay into Social Security as well. In many cases, they’ve lived in the United States for decades. There is nothing ‘illegal’ about them."

NPR (Audio): The RNC wants Republicans to embrace early voting. Trump’s rhetoric makes it tough
Jay Heck, the executive director of Common Cause Wisconsin, said he thinks that Republicans lost recent state Supreme Court elections and a recent gubernatorial election partly because of their voters' aversion to early voting.
"There is, I think, a realization on the part of some of them that they had better begin to do the things that progressives and Democrats are doing to turn out the vote if they want to carry the state for Trump or if they want to win a gubernatorial election in the near future," he said.
