KCRA-TV: لجنة رئيسية تستعد للتصويت على دعوة الحاكم نيوسوم لعقد مؤتمر دستوري
ويشير المنتقدون إلى عدم وجود ضمانات بأن يقتصر المؤتمر على ضبط الأسلحة إذا تم تفعيله. وفي وقت سابق من هذا الأسبوع، انتقدت منظمة الدفاع عن الديمقراطية غير الحزبية Common Cause هذا التحرك، مشيرة إلى أن المؤتمر يفتقر إلى الحواجز القانونية والمعايير التاريخية.
وقالت المجموعة في بيان صحفي: "من خلال الدعوة إلى عقد مؤتمر دستوري، فإن الحاكم نيوسوم يدعو المصالح الخاصة الغنية إلى فتح غطاء دستور الولايات المتحدة والتلاعب بحقوقنا وحرياتنا - دون قاعدة واحدة". "هناك مخاطر قليلة على الحريات ...

NPR: كيف يمكن أن تتغير الخريطة الكونجرسية لولاية فلوريدا قبل انتخابات عام 2024
وبغض النظر عن الكيفية التي ستحكم بها محكمة الولاية، فإن المدعين في دعوى قضائية فيدرالية مستمرة يخططون للمضي قدمًا في قضيتهم، كما أوضحت كاثاي فينج، المحامية ونائبة رئيس برامج Common Cause Florida، إحدى المجموعات التي تتحدى الخريطة.
وقال فينج "إذا توصلوا إلى حل نهائي يركز بشكل ضيق للغاية، فما زالت هناك فرصة أمام القضية الفيدرالية لفحص خريطة الولاية بأكملها ككل".
على الرغم من أن المدعين الذين رفعوا دعوى في محكمة الولاية قد وافقوا على تخطي المحاكمة، إلا أنه ليس من المتوقع أن يحدث ذلك في...

New Report: Trump’s Big Lie made judiciary a target
“Courts and judges play an important role in American democracy and should not have to fear violence for doing their job,” said Marilyn Carpinteyro, Common Cause interim co-president. “This report highlights why it’s so crucial that the courts and judges can enforce the law fairly and safely. Those in places of power—especially the president of the United States—have a responsibility to ensure judges can do their jobs free of intimidation.”

Wisconsin Law Journal: Liberal Supreme Court justices make sweeping changes to enhance transparency and accountability
During an interview with the Wisconsin Law Journal last week, Executive Director Jay Heck of the non-partisan government accountability group Common Cause noted that Wisconsin ranked as the 47th worst in the nation, according to a Center for American Progress study for judicial ethics recusal rules.
The study looked at the strength of recusal rules for judges in every state, ranking each state 1-50.
“Even Cook County (in Chicago) has stronger recusal rules for judges, which is a pretty low bar given Chicago’s...

Boston Globe: What is ‘red-boxing’ and why is it an issue in R.I.’s congressional race?
John M. Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, said Common Cause and the Campaign Legal Center have been urging the state Board of Elections for at least four years to adopt regulations that would clarify that types of coordination — including red-boxing — violate state campaign finance law. It hasn’t happened.
Marion said the current form of red-boxing has emerged since Rhode Island last made major changes in this area of campaign finance law in 2012.
“It was hard to imagine then that...

The Center Square: Gavin Newsom’s national Constitutional amendment to limit gun access put on hold
“Doing a convention puts every civil right we have in this country at risk,” said Viki Harrison, Director of Constitutional Conventions and Protecting Dissent Programs for left-of-center watchdog group Common Cause in an interview with The Center Square. “The entire Constitution could be rewritten.”

The Oregonian: Oregon labor group launches end run around effort to curb political donations, shed light on dark money
Kate Titus, executive director of good government group Common Cause Oregon, said that Our Oregon’s initiatives are “clearly an effort to try to derail (the proposal for stricter limits) and offer a different alternative.”
“I’m pleased that there’s a proactive movement toward campaign finance reform and more players are looking for ways to do this,” said Titus, who gave input on the development of the reform advocates’ proposal but whose organization has yet to endorse any measure for 2024. “Unfortunately, some...

The Hill (Op-Ed): How the Federal Election Commission is undermining the integrity of our elections
Georgia’s elections are all over the headlines this past week after the Trump indictment, but there is one issue key to protecting our votes missing from those headlines: transparency in campaign spending.
In Georgia, we believe all voters have a right to know when wealthy special interests are spending big to influence our vote. Unfortunately, the Federal Election Commission, the agency tasked with enforcing federal campaign finance laws, has failed Georgia voters and left us in the dark about an out-of-state group that...

KUNM: Non-partisan groups offer mixed evidence to judge deciding fairness of NM congressional map
Dan Vicuña, national redistricting manager for Common Cause, said to back its answers to the test’s questions, “there is a range of evidence a court can use.”
That includes qualitative data like legislative documents and testimony.
Vicuña said that could mean asking questions like, “Were meetings held in secret? Did you see partisan votes in committees? Did you see secretive proceedings in which one party was boxed out of having any input?”
