Mula sa Korapsyon tungo sa Pananagutan: Pagbabago sa Pay-to-Play na Pulitika sa Atlanta

Sa loob ng mga dekada, ang lungsod ng Atlanta ay nahaharap sa institusyonal na katiwalian, na humahadlang sa potensyal nito bilang isang kultural, negosyo, at internasyonal na hub. Inilantad ng Common Cause Georgia ang katiwaliang ito sa pamamagitan ng isang bagong ulat na pinamagatang "The Atlanta Way: Examining Pay-to-Play."

Texas Tribune/VoteBeat: Texas begins withdrawal from multistate partnership to clean voter rolls

Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager at Common Cause, a nonprofit that advocates for voting rights and government accountability, said the state’s chief elections officer should instead be “making it easier to exercise our right to vote.”

“Deploying partisan tactics like this only stands to scare people away from the ballot box and doesn’t do anything to strengthen the security of our state’s elections,” she said.

Tampa Bay Times/PolitiFact: A pro-Ron DeSantis ad used AI to create Donald Trump’s voice. It won’t be the last, experts say

While the pro-DeSantis ad accurately shares Trump’s words from the Truth Social post, Common Cause disinformation analyst Emma Steiner said she still found the use of AI-generated content in a political campaign "concerning."

"In an information environment where voters are faced with a deluge of false and misleading information, AI content has the potential to muddy the waters even more," she said. "My major concern is that there are, as yet, very few ‘rules of the road’ for the use of AI in political campaigns at a...

Raw Story/Common Dreams: 'Hinihingi ito ng ating Demokrasya': Nagsaya ang mga grupo ng mga karapatan habang binubuhay ng Dems ang pagkilos ng Freedom to Vote

"Ang ACE Act ay isang malaking hakbang na paatras at patahimikin ang mga boses ng pang-araw-araw na mga Amerikano sa pamamagitan ng paglalagay ng mga hadlang sa pagboto at sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa milyun-milyong dolyar...

NBC News: North Carolina elections at risk of chaos with Legislature’s proposed overhaul

“How do they get anything done? Are the important decisions going to be deadlocked? The consequences of that, as we are learning, could be devastating,” said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North Carolina.

Early voting polling sites and schedules must be approved by the unanimous support of a county election board under current law, Phillips said. If a member of the county board objects, the state board must decide. If it cannot, he said, current law says the only early voting site would be the county board...

Los Angeles Times Editorial: Los Angeles needs a bigger City Council. Here are three ways to get it

California Common Cause, a good-government advocacy organization, has urged the city to create 150,000-resident districts — the equivalent of 27 districts based on current population — and allow the number of districts to rise or fall every 10 years with population changes.

A hybrid system has some potential pitfalls, warned Kathay Feng with Common Cause. 

“I do think you can have a mixed system if the...

HuffPost: House GOP Wants To Make It Harder To Vote, Easier To Give Dark Money

“There’s a clear contrast here between the two visions for what each party views for going forward with American democracy,” said Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause, a nonpartisan nonprofit. “One party wants to make it harder for Americans to vote and wants there to be more big money in politics, and the other party wants to make sure that all eligible Americans can vote and wants to make sure big money does not dominate politics.”
