Public News Service: Amid multiple lawsuits, Texas’ redistricting gets D- from elections watchdog

Public News Service: Amid multiple lawsuits, Texas’ redistricting gets D- from elections watchdog

Dan Vicuna, director of redistricting and representation with Common Cause, said the solution to extreme gerrymandering is establishment of a nonpartisan system or commission with broad representation to draw up districts - which only exists in a handful of states.

"The public understands that whether you're kept in one district with a community that shares concerns of all sorts can really make the difference between having a champion in the halls of power - or not having a champion," he explained.

Ohio Capital Journal: Does Sec. of State LaRose have no Senate campaign HQ, or is it where he’s moving his state office?

“You need space,” said Catherine Turcer, executive director of the watchdog group Common Cause Ohio. “You need space to organize simple things like yard signs. A robust campaign actually needs at least one office — often more than one — if you’re going to be successful. Think about the number of media markets you have in Ohio. The secretary of state is running for the U.S. Senate.”

“If in fact this has been planned for nearly five years, we should have been in the know for a really long time,” Turcer said.

Федеральную избирательную комиссию призвали внести поправки в правила, чтобы учитывать ложный контент ИИ

Сегодня Common Cause и Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights подали комментарии в Федеральную избирательную комиссию (FEC) в поддержку петиции о нормотворчестве, поданной Public Citizen, с целью внесения поправок в ее положение о «мошенническом искажении фактов», включив в него «заведомо ложный контент, созданный искусственным интеллектом, в предвыборную рекламу или другие сообщения».

VoteBeat/AZ Mirror: Three seconds to spot fraud? Testing Arizona’s ballot signature checking process.

The potential change in process to come from this lawsuit worries Jenny Guzman, the program director for Common Cause Arizona, which advocates for voter rights. The organization isn’t sure signature verification is the best way to verify a ballot, but wants to make sure that officials have a large database to work from if this is the method they are using, she told me. Officials should also be attempting to contact voters whose signature is being questioned, Guzman said, which happens in Arizona under state law but doesn’t happen in every...

The Daily Beast: This Top GOP Recruit Has a Swampy Connection to a Trumpy Rep

Stephen Spaulding, vice president of policy at the good government group Common Cause, told The Daily Beast that the Sheehy-Zinke relationship—consisting of major campaign contributions, federal contracts, and favorable legislation—was the exact kind of “pungent mix” that gives voters the impression that elected officials put corporate money over the public interest.

Americans, Spaulding said, are “rightly turned off” by such relationships.

“It’s what gives rise to corruption and the appearance of...

The Oregonian/Oregon Capital Chronicle: Oregon’s failure to get tribal input earns it poor grade for redistricting in national report

“For too long public dialogue about redistricting has focused almost exclusively on the partisan horse race,” said Dan Vicuña, national redistricting director for Common Cause, one of the organizations in the coalition. “It’s undeniable that manipulation of voting districts for political advantage is a direct threat to the health of our democracy. However, that threat doesn’t derive from which party is up or down at a given moment. It derives from the slicing and dicing of communities into districts in ways that make it impossible...

Charlotte Observer: Not just about money: New laws in state budget give more power to the General Assembly

Ann Webb, the policy director of government watchdog group Common Cause North Carolina, said “an agency that is designed to protect the interests of the public spending, state funds should be operated in such a way that it reflects the public interest in its structure — not simply the interest of a couple of very powerful individuals.”

“Democracy requires transparency,” Webb said.

Webb, with Common Cause, said it’s “really important to look at the holistic picture. All the ways that the legislature...

Santa Fe New Mexican: New Mexico’s redistricting effort receives high grade

The coalition hub, which included the national Common Cause and the National Congress of American Indians, talked to over 2,000 people involved in the redistricting process in all 50 states.

Dan Vicuña, director of redistricting and representation for Common Cause, a voting-rights nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C., said in an interview those compiling the report put less focus on partisan conflicts and court cases and more on “whether public input was implemented in the maps.”

He said while the...

The Plain Dealer/Cleveland.com: Ohio’s redistricting process gets an ‘F’ from national group

“This redistricting cycle in Ohio provided a textbook example of the lengths elected officials will go to prioritize partisanship over fair representation for the public,” the report by Common Cause stated, adding that Republican lawmakers and redistricting commission members showed a “complete disregard... for the rule of law in Ohio.”

Omaha World-Herald: Nebraska rated a C+ for redistricting process by national group

Gavin Geis, director of Common Cause Nebraska, said a C+ is a fair grade for Nebraska. He said he believes Nebraska’s maps ended up pretty good, yet the redistricting process had issues with public access, transparency and politicization.

Besides three public hearings across the state on the proposed maps, Geis said, it was difficult to get committee members to engage with public input. He said lawmakers largely ignored suggested maps proposed by community organizations.

“Citizens’ work on this is why we had...

В новом отчете по 50 штатам обнаружены массовые сбои в процессе перераспределения избирательных округов

Коалиция национальных организаций, выступающих за более сильную демократию, опубликовала сегодня отчет, в котором оценивает усилия по перераспределению избирательных округов во всех 50 штатах, присудив лишь двум штатам оценку «A», в то время как 20 штатов получили оценку «D» или «F» за недостаточную прозрачность, отсутствие возможностей для участия общественности, беспартийность и расширение прав и возможностей цветных сообществ.
