Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer: FirstEnergy made secret $1 million payment for ‘Husted campaign’ in 2017, documents show
Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio, said the records showing the payment is another example of why Ohio needs greater transparency in political spending. We're still learning about public officials proximity to a bribery scandal after years of a swarm of criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations, she said.
The complicated picture is a feature and not a bug, she said. The system is built to hide malfeasance.
"What we do know from this is the governor and lieutenant governor are very...

Washington Times: Defendants not named ‘Trump’ usually go to trial years after indictment
Meanwhile, the fair election advocacy group Common Cause filed a brief supporting Mr. Smith at the Supreme Court in the D.C. case over Mr. Trump's claim of absolute immunity, saying the justices must decide the issue swiftly so the trial can take place before the November election and, ironically, so politics don't appear to be at play.
"The American people deserve a trial and a verdict on these serious charges before they go to the polls in November," said Virginia Kase Solomón, president of Common Cause. "The presumptive...

오늘 Common Cause는 미국 대법원에 친구의 변론서를 제출하여 법원이 정치적 편향에 대한 인식을 피하고 11월 대선 전에 전 대통령의 공모 및 부패 혐의에 대한 하급 법원 재판이 열릴 수 있도록 하기 위해 Donald J. Trump v. United States 사건에 대한 신속한 판결을 내릴 것을 촉구했습니다.

PolitiFact: FALSE: Texas found that 95,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.
"For those of us who’ve worked in Texas politics for years, it was a huge deal because you almost never see a gubernatorial appointee fail to get confirmed by the state senate," Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a voting advocacy group, told PolitiFact. "It goes to show just how wildly false their claim of 95,000 non-citizens being on the voter rolls was that it resulted in the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature refusing to confirm the nomination of the Republican governor."

“The internet is a gateway to democracy for many and every voter has the right to a free and fair internet. From looking up information about candidates to finding polling sites, this net neutrality proposal will make it easier for every voter to participate in our modern democracy. We strongly encourage the FCC to restore net...

Star Tribune/Yahoo! News: ‘Book Senator Hoffman to speak’: DFL state senator’s consulting firm raises ethical questions
Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera, executive director of Common Cause Minnesota, a nonprofit that advocates for government transparency, also had concerns. She said, "Sen. Hoffman's use of this title for marketing his consulting business as 'senator', along with the use of pictures taken while at the Capitol campus, can arguably be seen as him leveraging his public role for private gain."
Belladonna-Carrera suggested the legislative branch could benefit from having clearer rules for lawmakers.

NBC News: Wisconsin voters approve two GOP-backed ballot measures that will change how elections are run
“In the April elections Wisconsin tends to have low turnout, and not many people are going to look at these [closely]. Maybe they’ll read it and think, ‘yeah, that sounds reasonable,’” Jay Heck, the executive director of Common Cause Wisconsin, the state’s branch of the national nonpartisan government watchdog group, said ahead of the results. “But they are both the product of election denial.”
Their impact could be notable, Heck suggested. With avenues for additional funding roped off, and with the scope of who...

Miami Herald/Orlando Sentinel (Editorial): Lawmakers make it easier for corruption to flourish
Common Cause Florida and eight other groups are urging DeSantis to veto the bill, calling the personal knowledge standard “an unreasonably high evidentiary hurdle that has never existed in the 50-year history of the Commission. Instead, complaints should continue to require the filer to certify that the information is true to the best of their knowledge, which already discourages false and frivolous complaints.”
