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."

CNN: Supreme Court urged by DOJ and other parties to sidestep independent state legislature dispute

But Common Cause, a group that opposes the GOP lawmakers, disagreed with the position taken by its own side and urged the justices to decide the case.

Neal Katyal, a lawyer for the group, stressed that the court should use the North Carolina case to decide the Independent State Legislature doctrine issue rather than wait until it arises again on an emergency basis “during the 2024 election cycle.”

Omaha World-Herald: Nebraska Gov. Pillen not releasing event schedule, criticized for lack of access, accountability

Gavin Geis, executive director for Common Cause Nebraska, said he believes Pillen should continue the tradition of governors sharing their schedule with the public.

“Government transparency and accountability are not just enshrined in state law but are what Nebraskans expect from elected leaders,” he said.

“The governor’s schedule gives us all insight into his priorities and helps keep the public informed about the work he’s doing on our behalf,” Geis continued. “While it may be an afterthought for...

Paghahain ng SCOTUS: Ang Mga Paglilitis sa Kaso ng Muling Pagdistrito ng NC ay Hindi Nagbabago ng Kakayahang Magpasya Moore v. Harper

Dapat tanggihan ng Korte Suprema ng US ang mapanganib at palawit na independiyenteng teorya ng lehislatura ng estado (ISLT) na ipinakita sa Moore v. Harper anuman ang lubhang hindi pangkaraniwang desisyon ng Korte Suprema ng North Carolina na muling pakinggan ang remedial na desisyon sa Harper v. Hall, ayon sa isang bagong sulat ng nagsasakdal na tumutugon sa mataas na hukuman.

Arizona Republic: Arizona bills would post voters’ names, addresses, birth years and ballot images

The right to privately and securely cast a ballot, a pillar of voting rights, has stood the test of time as Arizona’s democracy has faced increasing attacks in recent years. The Arizona Constitution affirms “secrecy in voting shall be preserved,” but Senate Bill 1324 and House Bill 2560 put this at risk.

The companion bills, dubbed the “Voter Privacy Violation Act” by civil rights advocates, would make Arizona an extreme outlier by posting detailed voter data and unfiltered ballot images online during the critical...

CNHI News: Georgia Republicans continue to crack down on donations for elections

Anne Gray Herring of Common Cause Georgia said SB 222 creates another deterrent for counties already struggling to recruit and retain election workers.

"Our county elections offices are already overburdened and underfunded," Gray Herring said. "This would cut off one of the few remaining means to receive additional funding and prohibit boards of commissioners from choosing to allocate funds to their county elections offices when they identify a need. The county governing authority should have the discretion to provide additional...

Texas Tribune: Texas Senate passes bill to make illegal voting a felony again

Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager for Common Cause Texas, said everyone knows a voter, a friend or a neighbor who could be affected by the pending legislation.

Ehresman said that in some scenarios a person might attempt to vote absentee by mail because they’re 65 or they’re disabled. If they can’t tell whether their ballot was received and are confused about whether their vote was counted, they might try to go vote in person and cast a provisional ballot.

“That voter could be liable under SB 2...

Dallas Morning News: Texas’ top election official lays groundwork to leave voter fraud prevention program

The government accountability group Common Cause Texas called the move "another attempt to scare voters away from the ballot box by sewing doubt in the integrity of our elections."

"Either this is a hasty move in response to partisan pressure, which should be discouraged from the Secretary of State's office, or it is a deceitful omission that should be looked at skeptically," Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager for the organization said in a news release. "Texas should focus on strengthening the security of our...

Bloomberg: ‘Dark Money’ Ohio Bribe Verdict Shows Citizens United Limit

The verdict has powerful implications for Ohio and the rest of the country because it shows that while Citizens United may have opened the floodgates of corporate cash, “that doesn’t mean that pay-to-play is legal or right,” said Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio and a longtime Ohio advocate of campaign finance and government reform.

“Ohioans can rest easy tonight knowing, that at long last, someone will be held accountable,” she said.
