Inside Sources/Tribune News Service (Op-Ed): How the Supreme Court Stopped a Dangerous Legislative Power Grab
When I was in the Supreme Court last December listening to oral arguments in Moore v. Harper, I was struck by Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s questions in this case that put the future of American democracy’s checks and balances at risk.
Barrett doubted that the “independent state legislature theory” should give state legislatures absolute power to write laws for federal elections without facing state judicial review. And Barrett probed repeatedly about when, if at all, the Supreme Court should intervene in state court...

New York Times: Republicans Target Wisconsin’s Election Chief for Removal, Fueled by Falsehoods
Jay Heck, executive director of Common Cause in Wisconsin, a government watchdog group, said Ms. Wolfe’s removal would be a major blow to the state, which is likely to once again be a crucial battleground for the presidential race.
“The vast majority of Wisconsin’s voters and citizens can and will lose confidence and trust in our elections,” he said.

San Jose Mercury News: Thought San Jose’s 2022 mayor’s race was expensive? Experts say brace yourself.
Sean McMorris, a member of government transparency nonprofit California Common Cause, said he’s unsure whether the city needs to eliminate the cap at all.
“I know that San Jose is being proactive, but it is not clear to me that the SCOTUS ruling, which pertained to federal campaign finance law and post-election fundraising, would necessarily apply to all local campaign finance laws pertaining to candidate loans or that a city cannot narrowly tailor such a law to avoid running afoul of the SCOTUS ruling,” he wrote in an...

Houston Public Media: Texas prepares to leave multistate compact to clean its voter rolls, without an alternative
All of this is a concern for voting rights groups. Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager for Common Cause Texas, said its been just four years since the state attempted to purge tens of thousands of people incorrectly identified as noncitizens from the state's voter rolls. The furor over that effort helped to sink Acting Secretary of State David Whitley's bid for confirmation in the post. Ehresman noted that Keith Ingram, who served as elections director under Whitley, was appointed by current Secretary of State Jane Nelson to head the...

Boston Globe: Carlson’s early exit renews calls for limiting early voting or using ranked-choice voting
But John M. Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, called the GOP statement “a knee-jerk reaction to what is a fairly common occurrence in elections all across the country.”
“This is not the first time a candidate has withdrawn from a race but remained on the ballot, and it won’t be the last time,” he said. “Restricting a popular and secure way for voters to vote is not the right reaction.”
In offering 20 days of early voting, Rhode Island is matching the national average in the 47...

Wisconsin Law Journal: Protasiewicz prohibited from hearing abortion, gerrymandering cases if impeachment commences
Jay Heck, director of Common Cause, told the Wisconsin Law Journal he believes Vos’ threat of impeachment is hypocritical.
“It’s such self-serving hypocrisy with Vos. Where was Vos in 2012 when conservatives all voted to dismiss illegal coordination with Walker and Club For Growth? It has been well documented that Walker engaged in coordination to raise money for his recall election, which was illegal. Candidates cannot coordinate with outside special interests, and the Legislature changed that in 2015, but I didn’t...

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."

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...
