Texas Tribune/Houston Chronicle: Two years after Texas’ voting rights showdown gripped the nation, lawmakers again push dozens of elections bills
“Looking back over the past few legislative sessions, there have been repeated attempts to find creative ways to prosecute people for what really looks like an honest mistake,” said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a nonpartisan organization that advocates for policies such as online voting registration and ending gerrymandering. “There’s no infrastructure to tell people what the process is for when you can vote again [after release from prison] or how you can vote again.”

트럼프의 소셜 미디어 위험은 1월 6일 이후로 줄어들지 않았습니다.
소셜 미디어 플랫폼에서 도널드 트럼프의 계정을 복구하고 허위 정보, 증오 표현, 현실 세계의 폭력 가능성을 더욱 확산시키는 것은 위험할 정도로 무책임한 일입니다. 전 대통령은 1월 6일 소셜 미디어에서 명백하고 현존하는 위험임을 증명했습니다. 사실 그 악명 높은 날보다 훨씬 앞서서요. 그는 트위터, 페이스북, 그리고 다른 플랫폼을 활용하여 그날 국회의사당을 습격한 폭도들을 모아 선동했고, 그 결과 비극적이고 치명적인 결과를 초래했습니다.

Government Accountability Groups: Independent House Ethics Office Must be Strengthened and Made Permanent
Today, Common Cause and more than 20 other government accountability groups urged every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to codify the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) into law. The letter follows a recent move by House Republicans to hobble the independent ethics watchdog in the new rules package for the 118th Congress. The letter emphasizes that voters made it very clear in the midterm elections that they are demanding more accountability from their elected representatives in Washington, not less.

Patriot-News/PennLive (OP-ED): Some lawmakers are trying to sneak through legislation to advance their hardline agenda
Despite Pennsylvania voters’ overwhelming rejection of hardliner policies this past November, as the new legislative session begins, it’s clear very little has changed in Harrisburg.
Lawmakers are still using sleight-of-hand tricks to force their hardliner agenda on Pennsylvanians because they can’t pass it through regular legislation.
As they have for so many years, these lawmakers have ignored the voice of the people and are trying to circumvent the legislative process by forcing through constitutional...

CBS News: George Santos’ backers include a migrant smuggler, a big Trump donor and the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarch
"This member of Congress has flaunted campaign finance laws," Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause/New York said. "There is no respect for the rules or the voters."
According to Lerner, the personal financial disclosures made by candidates are critical for voters to have at their disposal prior to casting their vote. She says "porous" campaign finance laws and lack of enforcement from the FEC have allowed this particular situation to devolve.

NPR: Despite mail voting changes, ballot rejections remain relatively low in 2022 midterms
Sylvia Albert, director of voting and elections at Common Cause, says that since the beginning of the pandemic, voting by mail or absentee has become significantly more popular. In response, some states expanded access to mail in voting.
"What we also saw in 2020 was the demonization of vote by mail," Albert says. "This really affected state legislatures during the 2021 sessions. So, even though we saw a lot of states expand access, we saw other states restrict access."
She says that includes laws that set new...

VoteBeat/Texas Tribune: Ken Paxton wants more power to prosecute election crimes. These bills in the Texas Legislature would give it to him.
Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, said the bills would also hamper election worker recruitment.
“The potential for prosecution if you mess something up, that Ken Paxton just decides is not a mistake but a violation of the law, is going to dissuade voters and also the people who are qualified to do those [election administration] jobs from wanting to do those jobs,” he said.
