The Lever: Ron DeSantis’ Crusade Against Campaign Finance Laws

The New Yorker: How a Fringe Legal Theory Became a Threat to Democracy
Flight attendants use euphemistic doublespeak because, understandably, they want to avoid terms like “hijacking” and "September 11th.” For similar reasons, Jones spoke in broad terms, without directly invoking Trump or January 6th. (There were also other reasons for this, such as Common Cause’s nonpartisan status.) Even so, the implications were clear. At one point, an organizer sitting in the audience stood, using a cane, and gave an impromptu speech, urging listeners to imagine a Supreme Court opinion that enabled legislatures to rig...

Texas Tribune/VoteBeat: Harris County elections face state intervention under new laws
Katya Ehresman, voting rights program director with Common Cause Texas, said voters, county officials and election administrators should have been given the opportunity to testify about legislation set to directly impact them.
Ehresman said that process was concerning and “against values of transparency and public input, which should be core parts of the legislative process.”
“These bills do have a tangible effect on voter turnout, voter apathy, and on the ability for elections administrators to do their job...

Tallahassee Democrat (Op-Ed): Florida Legislature and Gov. DeSantis are trampling on our voting rights
If we want a democracy that works for everyone, we should be making it harder for money to influence politics, and easier for eligible Floridians to exercise their freedom to vote.
But that’s the opposite of what’s happening in Florida, with state lawmakers erecting a slew of unnecessary and confusing barriers for Floridians looking to participate in our democracy.

States Newsroom/Wisconsin Examiner: GOP-led states plan new voter data systems to replace one they rejected. Good luck with that.
“We would have no problem with the state setting up something that followed federal law and somehow getting a bunch of other states to go along with it,” said Julia Vaughn, the executive director of Common Cause Indiana, which brought the lawsuit against the state. “But good luck doing that with one individual state with no real expertise in this, and no reputation as some entity that other states should trust their voter registration lists with.”

The Mercury News: Court upholds California’s anti-pay-to-play law barring votes benefiting campaign contributors
The law was backed by the good governance organization California Common Cause, which described it as “a common sense and long overdue pro-democracy reform” that already exists in other states and in certain California cities.
Striking down the law would go against the “will of the people,” said Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause.
“This law protects Californians from the pay-to-play corruption and the appearance of corruption that plagues our cities and counties, and...

타임스 유니언(사설): 유권자 참여를 높이기 위해 투표용지의 문구를 단순화하세요
2024년에 유권자들은 다시 중요한 주제에 대한 주 전체 투표안을 쏟아야 합니다. 그 전에 평이한 언어 법안을 통과시키지 못하면 유권자들이 혼란스러워하고 낙담하여 그 과정에서 이탈할 위험이 있습니다. 모든 언어와 문해력 수준의 유권자는 투표함에서 동등한 접근권을 누릴 자격이 있습니다.
