Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer: FirstEnergy made secret $1 million payment for ‘Husted campaign’ in 2017, documents show

Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio, said the records showing the payment is another example of why Ohio needs greater transparency in political spending. We're still learning about public officials proximity to a bribery scandal after years of a swarm of criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations, she said.

The complicated picture is a feature and not a bug, she said. The system is built to hide malfeasance.

"What we do know from this is the governor and lieutenant governor are very...

Washington Times: Defendants not named ‘Trump’ usually go to trial years after indictment

Meanwhile, the fair election advocacy group Common Cause filed a brief supporting Mr. Smith at the Supreme Court in the D.C. case over Mr. Trump's claim of absolute immunity, saying the justices must decide the issue swiftly so the trial can take place before the November election and, ironically, so politics don't appear to be at play.

"The American people deserve a trial and a verdict on these serious charges before they go to the polls in November," said Virginia Kase Solomón, president of Common Cause. "The presumptive...

Hinihikayat ng Karaniwang Dahilan ang SCOTUS na Mamuno nang Mabilis sa Trump v. US upang Iwasan ang Pagdama ng Pagkiling

Ngayon, nagsampa ng amicus brief ang Common Cause sa Korte Suprema ng Estados Unidos na humihimok sa korte na magpasya kaagad kay Donald J. Trump v. United States upang maiwasan ang mga perception ng political bias at upang payagan ang paglilitis sa mababang hukuman ng dating pangulo sa pagsasabwatan at mga kasong katiwalian na gaganapin bago ang halalan sa pagkapangulo sa Nobyembre.

PolitiFact: FALSE: Texas found that 95,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.

PolitiFact: FALSE: Texas found that 95,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.

"For those of us who’ve worked in Texas politics for years, it was a huge deal because you almost never see a gubernatorial appointee fail to get confirmed by the state senate," Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a voting advocacy group, told PolitiFact. "It goes to show just how wildly false their claim of 95,000 non-citizens being on the voter rolls was that it resulted in the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature refusing to confirm the nomination of the Republican governor."

Salon/Yahoo! News: Rebooting digital equality: FCC to restore net neutrality, reversing Trump-era repeal

Government watchdog group Common Cause has long championed net neutrality protections, arguing that the rules protect the public's right to the equal access of publicly-funded internet infrastructure.

“The internet is a gateway to democracy for many and every voter has the right to a free and fair internet. From looking up information about candidates to finding polling sites, this net neutrality proposal will make it easier for every voter to participate in our modern democracy. We strongly encourage the FCC to restore net...

Washington Post: Ang mga mambabatas sa Nebraska ay bumoto laban sa Trump-fueled push na baguhin ang electoral vote system

"Hanggang kahapon, hindi ito isang talakayan, at pagkatapos ay biglang sumabog, at ilan sa ating mga mambabatas na nakatuon sa proseso ay kukuha ng isang may pag-aalinlangan na linya," sabi ni Gavin Geis, executive director ng Common Cause Nebraska.

Star Tribune/Yahoo! News: ‘Book Senator Hoffman to speak’: DFL state senator’s consulting firm raises ethical questions

Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera, executive director of Common Cause Minnesota, a nonprofit that advocates for government transparency, also had concerns. She said, "Sen. Hoffman's use of this title for marketing his consulting business as 'senator', along with the use of pictures taken while at the Capitol campus, can arguably be seen as him leveraging his public role for private gain."

Belladonna-Carrera suggested the legislative branch could benefit from having clearer rules for lawmakers.

"This branch of...

NBC News: Wisconsin voters approve two GOP-backed ballot measures that will change how elections are run

“In the April elections Wisconsin tends to have low turnout, and not many people are going to look at these [closely]. Maybe they’ll read it and think, ‘yeah, that sounds reasonable,’” Jay Heck, the executive director of Common Cause Wisconsin, the state’s branch of the national nonpartisan government watchdog group, said ahead of the results. “But they are both the product of election denial.”

Their impact could be notable, Heck suggested. With avenues for additional funding roped off, and with the scope of who...

CBS/Associated Press: Ang pagsusulat ng maling petsa sa iyong mail-in na balota sa Pa. ay maaaring matanggal ang iyong boto, ang mga hukom ay nag-uutos

Ang Common Cause Pennsylvania ay naglabas ng pahayag na ito tungkol sa desisyon:

"Nangangahulugan ang desisyon na ito na ang mga county ay papahintulutan na itapon ang mga balota na isinumite sa oras, para sa mga kadahilanang hindi nauugnay sa pagiging karapat-dapat ng mga botante na bumoto. Kami ay nasiraan ng loob sa desisyong ito at panatilihin ang aming posisyon na ang bawat botante na nagsisikap na lumahok ay dapat mabibilang ang kanilang boto ngunit magpapatuloy ang aming trabaho kahit na walang alinlangan na magkakaroon ng negatibong epekto ang desisyong ito sa mga matatandang botante at may kulay na botante, makikipagtulungan kami sa...

Miami Herald/Orlando Sentinel (Editorial): Lawmakers make it easier for corruption to flourish

Common Cause Florida and eight other groups are urging DeSantis to veto the bill, calling the personal knowledge standard “an unreasonably high evidentiary hurdle that has never existed in the 50-year history of the Commission. Instead, complaints should continue to require the filer to certify that the information is true to the best of their knowledge, which already discourages false and frivolous complaints.”
