WIRED: Inside Election Conspiracy Groups on Super Tuesday

Election integrity group Common Cause pointed out in a post on X that the picture wasn’t actually showing a voting machine but rather what's called an “emergency drawer.”

“It is a locked, secure ballot receptacle to store and scan ballots ensuring they're included in the polling place's count at the end of the day,” the group explained.

Oregon Capital Chronicle: House leaders make last-ditch effort on campaign finance reform

Kate Titus, executive director of Common Cause Oregon, called the amendment “a testament to the hubris of the political donor class” in written testimony. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Common Cause supports IP 9, the stricter measure backed by Honest Elections Oregon.

“Oregon voters will have no trouble seeing through this,” Titus wrote.

San Francisco Chronicle/CalMatters: Cupertino Lawmaker Co-Authors Bill To Translate Ballots, Help More Non-English Speakers Vote

"We want voters to trust the government and that boils down to a voter in any community being able to understand what is happening in their own community," said Pedro Hernandez, a policy director at California Common Cause, which cosponsored the bill.

"In order for California to build trust, it has to be a multiracial and multilingual democracy, which means prioritizing and centering in language access," said Hernandez at Common Cause.

Common Cause was one of a dozen organizations that participated in the...

Houston Chronicle: His life became a ‘nightmare’ when he went viral for voting in Texas. The trauma still lingers.

Rogers' instinct could be correct, according to Anthony Gutierrez, the executive director of Common Cause Texas.

“Cases like this can absolutely have a chilling effect, and you have to wonder if that’s part of the point,” Gutierrez said. “The state could very easily take proactive steps to ensure people who are starting probation or parole are clearly told how their legal status impacts their ability to vote.”

Colorado Newsline: 'Madilim na araw para sa demokrasya': Itinampok ng mga taga-Coladan ang mga banta sa halalan pagkatapos ng desisyon ng ika-14 na Susog

Sa isang pahayag, tinawag ni Aly Belknap, executive director ng hindi pangkalakal na Colorado Common Cause, na nagsampa ng ilang amicus, o friend-of-the-court, briefs bilang suporta sa mga nagsasakdal sa Colorado, na ang desisyon ay "isang madilim na araw para sa ating demokrasya."

"Si Donald Trump ay nagsinungaling, nanloko, at nagpakawala ng karahasan nang hindi natuloy ang halalan, at ang kanyang patuloy na pag-uudyok ay humantong sa hindi pa naganap na pagtaas ng mga pag-atake at pagbabanta ng kamatayan laban sa mga manggagawa sa halalan, mga hukom, at iba pang mga pampublikong tagapaglingkod," sabi ni Belknap. "Sa pagtanggi na hawakan si Trump...

Santa Fe New Mexican (Op-Ed): Pagsisikap na gawing moderno ang Lehislatura na nasawi sa sirang sistema

Ang mga tagalabas na pumupunta sa ating estado ay kadalasang napapansin kung paano ang New Mexico ay ilang taon sa likod ng mga katulad na estado sa mga tuntunin ng imprastraktura, edukasyon, kahirapan, kapakanan ng komunidad at halos anumang iba pang istatistika na ginagamit mo upang sukatin ang tagumpay ng isang lipunan.

Ang reputasyon ay sumusubaybay sa isang depektong istruktura ng pambatasan na humahadlang sa pag-unlad sa maraming antas. Tayo lang ang estado kung saan hindi tumatanggap ng suweldo ang mga mambabatas. Karamihan ay kulang sa mga propesyonal na tauhan para magsagawa ng pagsasaliksik sa patakaran at mga serbisyo ng nasasakupan, at nagkikita sila para sa ikatlong pinakamaikling halaga ng...

Honolulu Star Advertiser: 5 Questions: Camron Hurt, of Common Cause Hawaii

What aspect of “good government” does Hawaii do well, and where does it need the most improvement?

Hawaii is truly a dynamic state. Areas of good governance that Hawaii does well include human rights as well as establishing safe avenues for citizen participation in democracy.

However, this is simply not enough as we continue to struggle with participation in democracy, transparency and strategic vision. Perhaps the aspect of good governance that is most missing from our state would be strong and pragmatic...

Mga Proteksyon ng John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Kailangan Ngayon Higit Kailanman

Ang mga pederal na proteksyon ng John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act ay kritikal na mahalaga para maipasa ng Kongreso sa isang sandali sa ating kasaysayan kapag ang kalayaan sa pagboto ay inaatake sa ating bansa. Isang pundasyon ng ating demokrasya, ang kalayaang bumoto ay patuloy na sinasalakay mula noong halalan noong 2020 na may dose-dosenang mga batas laban sa botante na ipinasa sa mga estado sa buong bansa upang gawing mas mahirap para sa mga Amerikano – lalo na sa mga komunidad ng mga Itim at kayumanggi - na magkaroon ng sabihin sa pagpili ng kanilang mga nahalal na pinuno.

Mercury News: The campaign to replace U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo is California’s most expensive House race. Here’s where the money is flowing.

Sean McMorris, the transparency, ethics and accountability program manager for good government group California Common Cause, said it becomes an accountability issue because some self-funded candidates don’t engage with voters as much because they don’t need to solicit as many donations.

“Money should not dictate who should run for office or who gets elected,” he said.

At the congressional level, money plays a large role in the election, and while McMorris said it’s not the “determining factor,”...

"There must be consequences for overturning the will of the voters, both to prevent these schemes from being attempted in the future and to ensure accountability to those responsible for future attempts," added Aly Belknap of Colorado Common Cause.
