The Mercury News: Court upholds California’s anti-pay-to-play law barring votes benefiting campaign contributors
The law was backed by the good governance organization California Common Cause, which described it as “a common sense and long overdue pro-democracy reform” that already exists in other states and in certain California cities.
Striking down the law would go against the “will of the people,” said Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause.
“This law protects Californians from the pay-to-play corruption and the appearance of corruption that plagues our cities and counties, and...

ملفات Common Cause تقدم مذكرة صديقة للدفاع عن إعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية بشكل مستقل في قضية مناهضة التلاعب بالدوائر الانتخابية عالية المخاطر
قدمت منظمة Common Cause مذكرة صديقة للمحكمة العليا لولاية يوتا لحماية لجنة إعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية للمواطنين المعتمدين من الناخبين في عام 2018 في قضية رابطة الناخبات في يوتا ضد الهيئة التشريعية لولاية يوتا. في المذكرة، تؤكد المجموعة الوطنية المناهضة للتلاعب بالدوائر الانتخابية كيف تجاهلت الولاية إرادة الشعب من خلال تمرير تشريع يفرض خرائط تصويت محايدة ويتخلى عن المبادئ الأساسية لإعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية بشكل عادل.

In 2024, voters will again be faced with a slew of statewide ballot proposals on important topics.

Texas Tribune: Harris County must remove its elections chief under new legislation headed to Gov. Greg Abbott
“All of these changes together are forcing Harris County voters to live in a different set of circumstances than the rest of the state. This is creating a disparate scenario for those voters and barriers to well run elections,” said Katya Ehresman, voting rights program director at Common Cause Texas. “There’s a clear partisan element to that with Harris County growing in its Democratic stronghold. But there’s also definitely a disparate racial impact element to these bills continuing to pass as the county is home to the largest...

A similar case would go through the court system in Wisconsin and eventually find its way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, said Jay Heck, executive director of Common Cause in Wisconsin. Republicans may also appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Unfortunately, I think politics would play a role in both state Supreme Court and in the U.S. Supreme Court," Heck said, "which is why this hypothetical scenario I hope never happens, because it would be awful."

Houston Chronicle: Texas lawmakers decline online voter registration bills, despite 40-plus states having the option
"We've had 130-something days and no hearings on online voter registration, but multiple hearings on criminal penalty bills or firing elections administrator bills or state takeover bills," said Katya Ehresman, the voting rights program manager for Common Cause Texas.
