New York Times: Michael Bloomberg Has Found a New $5 Million Cause: Helping Hochul
“Its most immediate impact is that it adds to cynicism among voters,” said Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York. “The more money that floods into our system, the more people feel like their interests aren’t heard.”

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Hijacked: Georgia bills thought to be dead revived in final days
“When things are added at the last minute, they don’t go through that same process. Meaningful discussion and opportunity for input doesn’t exist in the same way,” said Anne Gray Herring, a policy analyst for Common Cause Georgia, which advocates for government transparency. “Sometimes new versions (are introduced) right before a hearing and the public hasn’t had meaningful time to review the proposal.”

Reuters: North Carolina urges US Supreme Court to toss major elections case
Neal Katyal, an attorney for Common Cause, a voting rights group that was among the challengers to the map, disagreed: "The court should, if at all possible, decide this question now, rather than on an emergency basis during the 2024 election cycle."

CNN: El Departamento de Justicia y otros partidos instan a la Corte Suprema a eludir la disputa sobre la legislatura estatal independiente
Pero Common Cause, un grupo que se opone a los legisladores republicanos, no estuvo de acuerdo con la posición adoptada por su propio partido e instó a los jueces a decidir el caso.
Neal Katyal, abogado del grupo, enfatizó que el tribunal debería usar el caso de Carolina del Norte para decidir la cuestión de la doctrina de la Legislatura Estatal Independiente en lugar de esperar hasta que surja nuevamente de manera urgente “durante el ciclo electoral de 2024”.

Omaha World-Herald: Nebraska Gov. Pillen not releasing event schedule, criticized for lack of access, accountability
Gavin Geis, executive director for Common Cause Nebraska, said he believes Pillen should continue the tradition of governors sharing their schedule with the public.
“Government transparency and accountability are not just enshrined in state law but are what Nebraskans expect from elected leaders,” he said.
“The governor’s schedule gives us all insight into his priorities and helps keep the public informed about the work he’s doing on our behalf,” Geis continued. “While it may be an afterthought for...

Presentación ante la Corte Suprema: los procedimientos en el caso de redistribución de distritos de Carolina del Norte no modifican la capacidad de decidir Moore v. Harper
La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos debería rechazar la peligrosa y marginal teoría de la legislatura estatal independiente (ISLT) presentada en Moore v. Harper, independientemente de la decisión altamente inusual de la Corte Suprema de Carolina del Norte de volver a escuchar la decisión correctiva en Harper v. Hall, según una nueva carta de un demandante en respuesta a la corte superior.

Associated Press: Election conspiracy movement grinds on as 2024 approaches
“Voters who know the truth about our elections have faith in them,” said Liz Iacobucci, election security program manager with the voter advocacy group Common Cause. “But the people who have been led into disbelief — those people can be led into other things, like Jan. 6.”

Arizona Republic: Arizona bills would post voters’ names, addresses, birth years and ballot images
The right to privately and securely cast a ballot, a pillar of voting rights, has stood the test of time as Arizona’s democracy has faced increasing attacks in recent years. The Arizona Constitution affirms “secrecy in voting shall be preserved,” but Senate Bill 1324 and House Bill 2560 put this at risk.
The companion bills, dubbed the “Voter Privacy Violation Act” by civil rights advocates, would make Arizona an extreme outlier by posting detailed voter data and unfiltered ballot images online during the critical...

CNHI News: Georgia Republicans continue to crack down on donations for elections
Anne Gray Herring of Common Cause Georgia said SB 222 creates another deterrent for counties already struggling to recruit and retain election workers.
"Our county elections offices are already overburdened and underfunded," Gray Herring said. "This would cut off one of the few remaining means to receive additional funding and prohibit boards of commissioners from choosing to allocate funds to their county elections offices when they identify a need. The county governing authority should have the discretion to provide additional...
