Government Accountability Groups Urge House to Strengthen the Office of Congressional Ethics and Make It Permanent

Today, Common Cause and other government accountability groups urged every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to strengthen the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and make the office permanent. Even if Congress does not codify the OCE into law at this time, the groups stress the importance of maintaining the office’s continued existence and the importance of not weakening it in the 119th Congress. The letter emphasizes overwhelming public support for increased ethics and accountability measures and touts the success of...

Public News Service: Feds Consider Whether to Allow Betting on Election Outcomes

Stephen Spaulding, vice president of policy for the nonprofit Common Cause, said gambling on elections is bad for democracy.

"You can imagine wealthy gamblers could make significant money by exploiting disinformation to influence an electoral outcome that would protect the bettors' bottom line," Spaulding pointed out. "This again opens up a significant risk to the perception that the winners and losers of an election are not determined by voters, but by those who stand to gain financially."

Spaulding noted the...

2022년 선거 허위 정보에 대한 새로운 보고서, 2024년을 전망하다

소셜 미디어 플랫폼이 선거 허위 정보의 확대되는 위협을 통제하려는 노력을 크게 축소함에 따라 Common Cause의 새로운 보고서는 2022년에 만연한 문제에 맞서기 위한 노력을 살펴보고 2024년에 무엇을 기대해야 할지 미리 보여줍니다. "현미경 아래: 2022년 선거 허위 정보 및 2024년에 대한 교훈"은 중간선거에서 준비와 우리가 본 것을 살펴보고 이미 전개되고 있는 백악관 경쟁에 교훈을 적용하는 방법을 살펴봅니다. 마지막으로 보고서는 기존 및 제안된...

KCRA-TV: 주요 위원회가 뉴섬 주지사의 헌법 대회 소집 요청에 대해 투표 예정

비평가들은 이 대회가 발동되더라도 총기 규제에 국한될 것이라는 보장은 없다고 지적합니다. 비당파 민주주의 옹호 단체인 Common Cause는 이번 주 초에 이 운동을 비난하며, 이 대회에는 법적 보호 장치와 역사적 규범이 없다고 지적했습니다.

"뉴섬 주지사는 헌법 대회를 소집함으로써 부유한 특수 이해 관계자를 초대하여 미국 헌법의 후드를 열고 단 하나의 규칙도 없이 우리의 권리와 자유를 건드리게 할 것입니다." 이 단체는 보도 자료에서 이렇게 말했습니다. "자유에 대한 위험은 거의 없습니다...

NPR: How Florida’s congressional map could change before the 2024 elections

Regardless of how the state court rules, plaintiffs in an ongoing federal lawsuit plan to proceed with their case, explained Kathay Feng, an attorney and vice president of programs for Common Cause Florida, one of the groups challenging the map.

"If they come to a final remedy that is very narrowly focused, there is still an opportunity for the federal case to examine the entire state map as a whole," Feng said.

Although plaintiffs suing in state court have agreed to skip a trial, that's not expected to happen in...

New Report: Trump’s Big Lie made judiciary a target

“Courts and judges play an important role in American democracy and should not have to fear violence for doing their job,” said Marilyn Carpinteyro, Common Cause interim co-president. “This report highlights why it’s so crucial that the courts and judges can enforce the law fairly and safely. Those in places of power—especially the president of the United States—have a responsibility to ensure judges can do their jobs free of intimidation.”

Wisconsin Law Journal: Liberal Supreme Court justices make sweeping changes to enhance transparency and accountability

During an interview with the Wisconsin Law Journal last week, Executive Director Jay Heck of the non-partisan government accountability group Common Cause noted that Wisconsin ranked as the 47th worst in the nation, according to a Center for American Progress study for judicial ethics recusal rules.

The study looked at the strength of recusal rules for judges in every state, ranking each state 1-50.

“Even Cook County (in Chicago) has stronger recusal rules for judges, which is a pretty low bar given Chicago’s...

Boston Globe: What is ‘red-boxing’ and why is it an issue in R.I.’s congressional race?

John M. Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, said Common Cause and the Campaign Legal Center have been urging the state Board of Elections for at least four years to adopt regulations that would clarify that types of coordination — including red-boxing — violate state campaign finance law. It hasn’t happened.

Marion said the current form of red-boxing has emerged since Rhode Island last made major changes in this area of campaign finance law in 2012.

“It was hard to imagine then that...

NM Political Report: Watchdog groups file brief in congressional gerrymandering case

The brief was filed in state judicial district court by watchdog groups Common Cause New Mexico, Election Reformers Network and the League of Women Voters New Mexico and it supports neither party in the case.

The amicus brief seeks to help the court apply the New Mexico Supreme Court’s three-part test that was adapted from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s dissenting opinion in the Rucho v. Common Cause case of 2019.

“We are gratified that the district court is using the three-part test suggested by...

“Doing a convention puts every civil right we have in this country at risk,” said Viki Harrison, Director of Constitutional Conventions and Protecting Dissent Programs for left-of-center watchdog group Common Cause in an interview with The Center Square. “The entire Constitution could be rewritten.”

“The amendment process is a lot more in the open,” Harrison said. “You're going through the state legislatures where people can testify. You are going through Congress where people can interact with their legislators...

The Oregonian: Oregon labor group launches end run around effort to curb political donations, shed light on dark money

Kate Titus, executive director of good government group Common Cause Oregon, said that Our Oregon’s initiatives are “clearly an effort to try to derail (the proposal for stricter limits) and offer a different alternative.”

“I’m pleased that there’s a proactive movement toward campaign finance reform and more players are looking for ways to do this,” said Titus, who gave input on the development of the reform advocates’ proposal but whose organization has yet to endorse any measure for 2024. “Unfortunately, some...

The Hill (Op-Ed): How the Federal Election Commission is undermining the integrity of our elections

Georgia’s elections are all over the headlines this past week after the Trump indictment, but there is one issue key to protecting our votes missing from those headlines: transparency in campaign spending.

In Georgia, we believe all voters have a right to know when wealthy special interests are spending big to influence our vote. Unfortunately, the Federal Election Commission, the agency tasked with enforcing federal campaign finance laws, has failed Georgia voters and left us in the dark about an out-of-state group that...

Bolts this week gathered three organizers who have fought this dynamic in each of three states that are undergoing this dynamic: Ohio, Arkansas, and Idaho. Their meeting sparked a wide-ranging conversation about their shared frustrations and strategies.

Mia Lewis, associate director of Common Cause Ohio, was active in the campaign to defeat Issue 1 this summer.
