Boston Globe: Trump usa su campaña presidencial para atacar a las instituciones que, según él, lo persiguen
“Utilizó sus palabras para atacar a las instituciones democráticas de una manera que socava la confianza y la seguridad, y es peligroso”, dijo Stephen Spaulding, vicepresidente de políticas de Common Cause, un grupo no partidista que defiende el buen gobierno. “Eso es parte de su estrategia, que consiste en ablandar el terreno para luego atacar el resultado legítimo de una elección”.

Ohio Capital Journal: Incluso antes de que se complete la mudanza de la oficina, el secretario de Estado de Ohio, LaRose, parece difuminar las líneas éticas
LaRose no ha respondido a las reiteradas preguntas del Capital Journal sobre la medida, pero sería inapropiado que participara en actividades de campaña en el edificio del centro de Columbus, dijo Mia Lewis de Common Cause Ohio, porque es vital mantener el trabajo de organizar una elección justa separado del de intentar ganarla.
“Hay que mantener separadas la campaña y el trabajo de gobierno”, dijo. “Una vez que esas cosas empiezan a desdibujarse, se hace cada vez más difícil para los votantes confiar en sus funcionarios electos”.

The Guardian: El grupo de derecha que está detrás de leyes estatales regresivas en EE. UU. enfrentará protesta en gala en Washington DC

Tallahassee Democrat/USA Today Florida Network: Los jueces decidirán si DeSantis perjudicó intencionalmente a los votantes negros con el mapa del norte de Florida
"Se trata claramente de una cuestión racial desde el primer día", dijo Gregory Diskant, abogado de los demandantes, entre los que se incluyen la NAACP, Common Cause, Fair Districts Now y votantes individuales que quieren que el tribunal derogue los límites del Congreso.
Afirman que DeSantis violó la igualdad de protección y las protecciones del derecho al voto de la Constitución de Estados Unidos con el mapa predominantemente republicano que no ha dejado a ningún miembro negro del Congreso del norte de Florida por primera vez en 30 años.
"¿Por qué le importaba tanto esto?", preguntó Diskant, respondiendo...

Denver Post: Colorado lawmakers often win seats with dozens of votes. Would a different process to fill vacancies be fairer?
“We have every confidence that lawmakers who enter the legislature this way are able to earn the trust of their district and represent the interests of the voters in their district,” said Aly Belknap, the executive director of Colorado Common Cause, an election-advocacy group.
“Even so,” she added, “we know that this process doesn’t meet the standards of an inclusive and representative democracy because vacancy committees entrust this (decision) to a fraction of district voters.”

Newsweek: Ron DeSantis Poised for Huge Blow if Florida Election Map Redrawn
Common Cause Florida, the Florida branch of the NAACP and Fair Districts Now are suing to have the map which saw a North Florida district held by Rep. Al Lawson, a Black congressman, eliminated.
On the first day of trial, attorney Greg Baker, who is representing the plaintiff, accused DeSantis of having "pushed and pushed" to endorse the disputed congressional map which helped the Florida GOP pick up four House seats at last year's midterms elections.
"He pressed his argument by sound bite bullying," Baker...

MSN/Public News Service: Progressives call push to change Constitution ‘risky’
Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause, said the risk of a runaway convention is too great, because there are very few rules in place.
"We would have no idea who's seeking to influence the members of the constitutional Convention," Stein pointed out. "What lobbying would be happening behind the scenes? Would there be public-records requirements? Would there be transparency requirements? We just have no idea."

Ohio Capital Journal: Ohio Redistricting Commission adopts sixth version of Statehouse maps with bipartisan support
“This corrupt, undemocratic process has resulted in rigged maps that help politicians and their friends get re-elected at the expense of Ohio families and communities,” said Catherine Turcer, Executive Director of Common Cause Ohio, speaking on behalf of Fair Districts. “We are working together on an amendment to ban politicians from map drawing so that Ohio voters get the impartial districts they fundamentally deserve, and lawmakers will be responsive to the people rather than mega-donors and lobbyists.”

CT Insider: CT’s absentee ballot boxes are under fire amid Bridgeport investigation. Here’s what to know
Cheri Quickmire, executive director of Connecticut's chapter of Common Cause, an advocacy group focused on accountable government, says the investigation in Bridgeport isn't a reason to restrict or remove absentee ballot drop boxes.
"This does not demonstrate a problem with the boxes," Quickmire said. "It demonstrates a problem with the local officials in Bridgeport."
In Quickmire's view, the boxes "absolutely are successful at giving voters an alternative way to submit their ballot."
