North Carolina Public Radio/WUNC: Let the litigation begin: A federal lawsuit seeks to block new North Carolina Senate district map
"The two ends of that district have nothing in common," Ann Webb, policy director at Common Cause North Carolina, argued at the time, referring specifically to Senate District 2. "They are far from one another; they have different communities, and they should not be gerrymandered into a district together."

Seattle Times (Op-Ed): Restore net neutrality, crucial to democracy
The battle for network neutrality (aka the open internet) is back. The chair of the Federal Communications Commission, with a new majority finally in place after almost three years of a deadlocked 2-2 commission caused by a dawdling Senate, has started the ball rolling toward a vote, which hopefully will happen early in the new year. It’s something that should have been instituted years ago.

Delaware News Journal (Editorial): Hall-Long’s campaign audit reveals a stark reality: Delaware deserves greater transparency
We join Delaware Common Cause and the Delaware Coalition for Open Government in calling on Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long to release an audit of her campaign finances — even though she is not required to do so by Delaware Law.
Claire Snyder-Hall, Common Cause Delaware’s executive Director, joined Flaherty in asking Hall-Long’s campaign to disclose the audit.
“The audit confirms the campaign’s claim there is no wrongdoing, so sharing that would go a long way to rebuilding public trust,” Snyder-Hall said.

Common Cause/NY, 의회에 조지 산토스 추방 요구
하원 윤리 위원회가 조지 산토스 대표가 연방법을 위반했다는 결론을 내린 56페이지 분량의 보고서를 발표했다는 속보에 대해 Common Cause/NY의 수잔 러너 전무이사는 다음과 같이 말했습니다.
“오늘 하원 윤리 위원회의 양당 사실 조사 보고서는 산토스 씨가 공직에 부적합하다는 것을 분명히 보여줍니다. 추방이라는 구제책의 심각성을 인식하고 Common Cause/NY는 그 과정이 적절하게 진행되기를 기다렸습니다. 이제 우리와 하원은...

The Capital Times: The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ugly politics, explained
“The danger (with rhetoric surrounding impeaching Protasiewicz) is that you undermine significant confidence in the court,” said Jay Heck, executive director of the good government group Common Cause Wisconsin. “But one of the problems we have now is that’s not just a function of this past election, that is a function of things that have been occurring going back to 1997.
“This is long-term. This is 25 years in the making.”

Pennsylvania Capital-Star: Voting rights groups call for investigation of Election Day problems in Northampton County
The groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, Common Cause PA, All Voting is Local, PA Voice, Action Together NEPA, and PA Stands Up, called for a full investigation and a report to provide transparency for the public.
“The county’s conflicting messages to the public on Election Day led to confusion, concern, and doubt in the security and accuracy of votes. These mistakes grow into misinformation,” said Philip Hensley-Robin, executive director of Common Cause PA.

Raleigh News & Observer: The first elections with voter ID in NC are done. What was the impact?
“We know it does create another impediment for people trying to get to the polls,” said Ann Webb, policy director at Common Cause North Carolina, a group that has sued to stop gerrymandering and new restrictions on voting.
Webb said the voter ID requirement is part an effort by Republican lawmakers to narrow access to voting. “We like to say, ‘In 2023 there will be voter ID. In 2024, there will be more,’” Webb said.

Albuquerque Journal (Op-Ed): Ethics issues likely affected Albuquerque city elections
Restoring public trust in government and elected officials has been the major thrust of Common Cause since its founding in the 1970s, when Watergate and Vietnam led to widespread disbelief that presidents and top officials were telling the truth. Fast forward 50 years, and public trust has declined even further — despite the efforts of many reformers to tighten ethical standards, require transparent campaign reporting, and safeguard elections.
