Government Accountability Groups Urge House to Strengthen the Office of Congressional Ethics and Make It Permanent

Today, Common Cause and other government accountability groups urged every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to strengthen the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and make the office permanent. Even if Congress does not codify the OCE into law at this time, the groups stress the importance of maintaining the office’s continued existence and the importance of not weakening it in the 119th Congress. The letter emphasizes overwhelming public support for increased ethics and accountability measures and touts the success of...

Reuters: Voter advocates, conservative activists brace for 2024 election showdowns

Ahead of the election, officials can avoid some of the chaos that fraud-chasing poll watchers created in 2020 by setting clear rules and educating the public about the way tabulation processes, such as signature verification, normally work, said Suzanne Almeida, who leads political violence prevention and response work at the non-partisan Common Cause.

Pambansang Pagboto sa Prison Coalition ay Pinupuri ang Landmark Introduction of Inclusive Democracy Act of 2023 

Sa isang mahalagang hakbang upang palawakin ang mga karapatan sa pagboto at palakasin ang demokratikong partisipasyon, ipinakilala ngayon nina Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) at Senator Peter Welch (VT) ang Inclusive Democracy Act of 2023. Ang groundbreaking na batas na ito ay naglalayong alisin ang diskriminasyong kaugalian ng felony disenfranchisement para sa pederal na halalan, na tinitiyak na ang lahat ng mga Amerikano, anuman ang isang kriminal na paghatol, ay may pangunahing karapatang bumoto.

Denver Post: Will Trump be on Colorado’s 2024 ballot? State Supreme Court takes on the case

Several law professors as well as Colorado Common Cause and the Constitutional Accountability Center, which advocates for a progressive reading of the founding document, urged the state’s justices to bar Trump from the state’s ballot.

The filing from Common Cause, a government watchdog group, called it “a great credit to prior generations of American political leaders” that the disqualification clause of the Constitution had so rarely been invoked — but argued this case rose to that standard.

“The fact...

Wisconsin Examiner: Republican lawmakers propose dissolving Wisconsin Elections Commission

Jay Heck, executive director of voting rights advocacy organization Common Cause Wisconsin, says the introduction of the proposal will only serve to confuse voters ahead of next year’s elections.

Under the bill, the administrator of the WEC would need to work with the secretary of state to transition election responsibilities by June 30, 2024 —a little more than four months before the presidential election.

“The thing that’s most disturbing about it is it’s creating, deliberately, a chaotic, confusing...

Baltimore Sun (Editorial): Finding a better way to fill Maryland’s state legislative vacancies

Common Cause Maryland and others see a troubling pattern. You make friends with party insiders and your path to the State House is far easier. You get the appointment and then special interest money steered your way keeps you in the job. Other vacancies from state attorney general to comptroller to U.S. Senate seats get a special election (under a 2016 state constitutional amendment ratified by voters).

Colorado Newsline: Dozens of state AGs, GOP officials tell Colorado Supreme Court to keep Trump on ballot

A former Republican Colorado secretary of state, Mary Estill Buchanan, joined advocacy group Colorado Common Cause in an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs’ case, telling the court that “this country and its institutions are at a crossroads.”

“(Trump) allowed a lust for power to supersede his own Oath of Office and over two centuries of American political precedent. Mr. Trump has sought at every turn to inject chaos into our country’s electoral system in the upcoming 2024 presidential election,” the brief said....

Rolling Stone: Ang Dirty Tricks na Ginagamit ng GOP para Iwasan ang Aborsyon sa Balota sa 2024

Ang tanawin, samantala, ay kapansin-pansing naiiba sa mga estadong kontrolado ng Democrat. Sa Maryland, ang mga tagapagtaguyod ay halos hindi nakaranas ng anumang pagtutol, at sinasabi nilang alam nilang walang organisadong pagsalungat. "Inaasahan namin ang isang kampanya ng disinformation," sabi ni Joanne Antoine, executive director ng Common Cause Maryland. "Ngunit sa labas nito ay wala kaming naririnig na kahit ano."

Boston Globe: R.I. Ethics Commission appointee resigns after Globe investigation into sexual harassment complaints

After hearing the news of the resignation, Common Cause Rhode Island executive director John M. Marion said, “It is a relief that Mr. Da Cruz will not be serving on the Ethics Commission. We are glad Governor McKee has acknowledged that the vetting process was flawed. We urge him to do due diligence when making future appointments.”

Ethics Commission members should be carefully vetted because the panel has “extraordinary powers” provided for in the state constitution and because those appointments do not require the...

CNN: Florida appeals court upholds congressional map championed by DeSantis

“This decision blatantly ignores the will of Florida voters who — more than a decade ago — demanded Fair Districts that protect representation for communities of color,” Amy Keith, the executive director of Common Cause Florida, said in a statement, referring to the state’s Fair Districts Amendment.

Keith noted in her statement that the Florida congressional boundaries are also being challenged in federal court in a separate pending case that argues that the map violates the US Constitution. “Our work is not done...
