ProPublica/MSN: Wisconsin Picks New Legislative Maps That Would End Years of GOP Gerrymandering
Good-government groups applauded the possibility of a legislative agreement, largely because it brings about stability and a measure of political certainty until the next redistricting process, after the 2030 census. Besides, said Jay Heck, executive director of Common Cause Wisconsin, “The governor’s maps are pretty darn good.”

WAER (NPR): NYS redistricting committee could release new congressional map today
Thursday's meeting will be open to the public, but Executive Director of Common Cause New York Susan Lerner says the state’s redistricting process has largely been conducted behind closed doors.
“The commission, which has held no meeting, after being charged with drawing a new congressional map, has announced that it’s going to meet on Thursday afternoon, and they’re going to vote on a map," Lerner said. "Nobody’s seen it, nobody’s made any comments about it, nobody has been able to provide feedback.”

Washington Post: Democrats look to Nebraska to shore up Biden’s blue wall
But Gavin Geis, the executive director of Common Cause Nebraska, said the bill is unlikely to be put forward for a full vote before the state’s legislative session ends for the year on April 18.
“If the bill did make it out of committee with a priority it would have to be debated on the floor, but that would definitely lead to an extended filibuster,” Geis said in a statement. “So its odds are slim.”

WUNC: Poll workers, voters adapting to North Carolina’s photo ID requirement
Opponents of the ID law, like Common Cause North Carolina's Ann Webb, point out that while its supporters say it will boost election integrity, there is virtually no evidence of the kind of individual voter fraud it would stop.
"Ultimately, what the question is here is: What are we gaining from photo ID?" Webb rhetorically asked. "What's really critical at this point is that folks aren't disenfranchised by the uncertainty of what this new requirement means."

Política de Colorado/Colorado Springs Gazette: El proyecto de ley de Colorado que encarga al fiscal general estudiar la desinformación en línea genera un debate sobre la Primera Enmienda.
Andrew Barton de Colorado Common Cause, quien apoya la medida, dijo que su organización realizó un análisis independiente de publicaciones en las redes sociales y que el estudio reveló una prevalencia creciente de "desinformación" sobre los candidatos a cargos públicos, los procesos electorales y la validez del sistema de votación del país.
"Nuestras instituciones democráticas solo funcionan cuando todos podemos interactuar con ellas de forma precisa y honesta", afirmó Barton. "Debido a la amenaza de la desinformación, es imperativo que los datos sobre cómo...

Yahoo! News/USA Today: California, cuna de la tecnología, parece ser líder en la regulación de la IA
Jonathan Mehta Stein es cofundador de The California Initiative for Technology and Democracy, un proyecto del grupo de buen gobierno California Common Cause, que ha estado asesorando a los legisladores sobre las amenazas que las tecnologías emergentes plantean a la democracia. Señala el creciente uso de la IA en las elecciones de todo el mundo como prueba de que ya no es una práctica teórica, sino activa. En el primer mes de 2024, las falsificaciones profundas que difundían información errónea en las elecciones de Bangladesh y Eslovaquia resultaron ser importantes perturbaciones electorales.

South Bend Tribune (Op-Ed): Our civic health is on life support. Indiana’s legislature doesn’t care
The recent Indiana Civic Health Index should be a wakeup call for Indiana elected officials, like the alarm of medical devices alerting doctors and nurses to a patient in need of urgent care. If you haven’t read the report, let me call out the alarms clearly. Indiana:
* ranked 50th in voting in the 2022 elections
* has consistently ranked in the bottom 10 in voting for the last 13 years
* moved backward in the rankings for both voting participation and voter registration in the last 11 plus...

Fort Worth Star-Telegram/Yahoo! News: Texas voter fraud activist leads closed-door poll watcher training at Arlington church
Such training sessions and the election day actions for which they prepare attendees are less about ensuring integrity in Texas elections than they are about voter intimidation, according to Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a nongovernmental organization that works to expand voting rights.
While he was unaware of what Pressley’s session was to cover, he said in a phone interview that such groups “seem to be going out of their way to use poll watchers to intimidate or at least harass voters of...

Indiana Capital Chronicle: El controvertido proyecto de ley sobre seguridad electoral podría sufrir cambios
Julia Vaughn, quien dirige el organismo de control gubernamental Common Cause Indiana, pidió de manera similar al comité que dirija su atención al BMV.
“Parece contraproducente abordar esto examinando el estatus del votante. ¿Por qué no lograr que la Oficina de Vehículos Motorizados deje de registrar ilegalmente a las personas?”, preguntó.

Yahoo! News/Politico: Adams’ pledge of government efficiency remains out of reach
“It’s that baseline of service that really affects how people think about their government,” said Susan Lerner of Common Cause New York, a government reform group. “It’s not about speeches and the big issues; it’s about whether you’ve made a noise complaint and nobody gets back to you for a week.”
For Lerner, head of Common Cause, the city’s recent budget cuts — coupled with a struggle to fill vacant positions and a hiring freeze — could hurt the Adams administration’s ability to maintain the nuts and...
