Voting Rights

Common Cause members and other voting rights activists gathered for a rally outside the Supreme Court this morning as the justices heard a landmark challenge to an Ohio law that state officials have used to lift the registrations of about 2 million voters

In Husted v. A Philip Randolph Institute, the Supreme Court has a chance to stop states from purging non-voters from the voter rolls.

Today, Common Cause filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in support of a challenge to the state’s extreme partisan political gerrymander. Despite a roughly equal split in votes between the parties in each election since the 2011 redistricting, Republicans have consistently won 13 of the state’s 18 congressional seats. If successful, the case could result in the Court ordering the redrawing of the districts before the 2018 election.

Donald Trump’s Pence-Kobach "Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity" is no more. And that’s thanks in large part to hundreds of thousands of Americans who spoke out and stood up for the right to vote.

The Pence-Kobach Commission was "flawed from the start" and at the finish as well.
