KPBS/CalMatters: California lawmakers, raising fears of political violence, want to shield their properties
Laurel Brodzinsky, legislative director for California Common Cause, said Form 700 is an important tool for understanding how elected officials’ economic interests shape their decision-making.
“We do think that having that transparency is really important for accountability,” Brodzinsky said.
Brodzinsky of California Common Cause said there are reasonable limitations on what information is disclosed about elected officials and other public servants given the threat of violence.

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.

매사추세츠 주 커먼코즈의 대표이사인 제프 포스터는 헌법에 대회를 운영하는 방법에 대한 규칙이 없으며, 수정헌법 제1조조차도 안전할 것이라는 보장이 없다고 말했습니다.

포스터는 대회를 통해 선출되지 않은 대의원과 특수이익집단이 자신들의 의제를 창립 문서에 포함시킬 가능성이 있다고 지적했습니다.

Providence Journal: Should Rhode Islanders be able to vote on the same day they register? What both sides say
Of the 22 states that have some version of same-day registration, John Marion, executive director of Common Cause RI, says: "Some have no residency deadline, others have lengthy deadlines. All have residency requirements." The maximum allowed under legal precedent is 30 days."
This year's version of the legislation has not yet been introduced, but Marion confirms his group's intent: If the repeal wins voter approval in November, "we would then advocate for an enabling statute that would allow for same-day voter registration."

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."
