NPR: Is drawing a voting map that helps a political party illegal? Only in some states
State courts have become the battleground for partisan gerrymandering after the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 2019 ruling in the case known as Rucho v. Common Cause.
"For several decades, people in the states had held out hope that the Supreme Court would lay down a standard for finding that partisan gerrymandering had happened and potentially overruling maps where that kind of vote rigging had happened," says Kathay Feng, vice president of programs at Common Cause, the advocacy group that has also helped lead the ongoing case...

After April’s decision, Alaska became the 13th state to have its highest court interpret the state’s constitution to ban partisan gerrymandering. A further seven states have a statutory ban on partisan gerrymandering, according to Dan Vicuña, national redistricting manager at Common Cause, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that campaigns to end gerrymandering across the nation.
“Whether it happens in a red state or a blue state, a constitutional ban on partisan gerrymandering is always a landmark victory for the...

صحيفة ديلاوير نيوز: حقوق التصويت لشركات ديلاوير قيد الدراسة؛ مشروع قانون مقدم للسماح للكيانات الاصطناعية بالتعبير عن رأيها في انتخابات سيفورد
ووصفت كلير سنايدر هول، المديرة التنفيذية لمنظمة Common Cause Delaware، وهي منظمة تدافع عن الحكومة المفتوحة، هذا الأمر بأنه "محاولة شنيعة لفرض رأي غير عادل على أصحاب العقارات الأثرياء، بعضهم لا يعيشون حتى في ديلاوير، في انتخابات المدينة".
قالت لصحيفة ديلاوير أونلاين/ذا نيوز جورنال: "نشهد هجمات على حرية التصويت في جميع أنحاء البلاد، ومعظمها من الجمهوريين الذين يحاولون وضع عوائق أمام التصويت". وأضافت: "وهذه طريقة مختلفة نوعًا ما للوصول إلى الهدف نفسه، أليس كذلك؟
"إنه مثل 'أوه، نحن...'

The Guardian: ‘Impossible to hold him accountable’: DeSantis signs laws to ease 2024 run
“It looks like they’re laying the groundwork to transfer the money to some sort of vehicle that would support his presidential run,” said Stephen Spaulding, a campaign finance expert at Common Cause, a government watchdog group. “What that, again, goes to show is how loose the coordination rules are, how they need to be strengthened, and how existing rules need to be enforced.”

Texas Tribune: Eliminating countywide voting in Texas would make the process harder on voters, cost more money, election leaders say
“It is stunning to me that this bill has moved forward,” said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas. “Countywide voting is the solution to so many problems.”
“If we end countywide voting, we are just ramping up more and more confusion for Texans,” Gutierrez said. He pointed to a study by the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs, which found that confusion over voter ID laws kept some people from voting in Harris County.

Politico: The Supreme Court has an electoral ‘bomb’ on its hands. Will it defuse it before 2024?
The North Carolina state court ruling “makes it even more clear that the Supreme Court needs to make a decision about whether or not that legislature should be able to rule over federal elections without any checks or balances or if we still want courts to have a role,” said Kathay Feng, the vice president of programs at the good government group Common Cause. Common Cause is one of the parties in the federal lawsuit opposing the ISL theory.
“We need to have a definitive answer from the Supreme Court,” she continued.

Associated Press: Air Force One doubles as a campaign jet for Biden’s reelection run. Who pays what?
When it comes to paying back the government for travel, “it’s always somewhat of an opaque process for how it’s reimbursed,” said Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at the watchdog group Common Cause. “It’s a little bit more of an art than a science.”

Roll Call: DOJ urges Supreme Court not to decide case on federal elections
Only one party in the case, Common Cause, argued for the Supreme Court to decide the issue — and rule against North Carolina. In a brief filed Thursday, the group argued that the mere fact that North Carolina’s high court ruled in the case means the U.S. Supreme Court can still decide it.
“Petitioners’ core contention before this Court is that the Elections Clause prohibits state constitutions—and state courts—from imposing limits on the authority of state legislatures over congressional redistricting. But the North...

CBS: Rep. George Santos pleads not guilty to 13 federal charges including using campaign donations for personal expenses, including designer clothes and cash
"Mr. Santos' breathtaking scope of lies has left his constituents -- and all New Yorkers -- gasping for air and calling for accountability. Now that the Eastern District of New York has appropriately indicted him, Mr. Santos should resign. It's been clear for a long time that the voters have been defrauded, and Mr. Santos' seat in Congress is tantamount to an ill gotten gain: he should not be allowed to profit from the fruits of his deception. Voters deserve a representative who doesn't lie and deceive their way into power, and unfortunately...
