Associated Press: Gambling interests gave GOP group behind pro-DeWine PACs $1M
The approach obscures the sway donors have on politicians’ decisions, said Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio, a government watchdog group.
“Ohioans should be able to follow the money so that they’re able to identify who is attempting to influence public policy,” she said. “Instead, we are left with political ads that have a disclaimer or a ‘paid for by’ that is from an organization that we actually have to work to figure out where they got their funding.”

Las declaraciones de impuestos de Trump deberían hacerse públicas a la luz de las condenas y las investigaciones
El pueblo estadounidense merece ver las declaraciones de impuestos de Donald Trump. Todos los demás presidentes estadounidenses modernos y todos los demás candidatos de los principales partidos han revelado sus declaraciones antes que Donald Trump. A la luz de numerosas investigaciones federales y estatales sobre las finanzas del expresidente y las condenas de varios empleados de la Organización Trump, es probable que los documentos contengan información importante y relevante para la confianza pública y deban hacerse públicos.

El Comité del 6 de Enero denunció un intento de golpe de Estado y merece el agradecimiento de la nación
Ningún estadounidense está por encima de la ley. Eso incluye a los expresidentes y sus asesores. Donald Trump y quienes ayudaron e incitaron a su intento de golpe de Estado siguen siendo un peligro claro y presente para nuestra democracia.
Los miembros del Comité Selecto no partidista del 6 de enero merecen el agradecimiento de la nación por investigar y exponer públicamente el complot de meses de duración llevado a cabo por Trump y sus asociados, que parece haber equivalido a una conspiración criminal para anular la voluntad del pueblo y subvertir los resultados de las elecciones de 2020 para que...

Charlotte Observer: NC court calls its role ‘the bedrock of our sacred system.’ Will US Supreme Court agree?
“This case has set a clear precedent for redistricting in North Carolina,” said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North Carolina, in a press release. “Voting maps must be free from gerrymandering and respect the right of North Carolinians to have a voice in choosing their representatives. Our districts belong to the people, not politicians.”

Un nuevo informe de Berkeley motiva un llamado a un promotor de aplicaciones con mucho dinero para que descarte planes de votación en línea vulnerables
Hoy, el Centro de Seguridad en Política de la Universidad de California en Berkeley emitió una declaración en la que informa sobre las conclusiones de un grupo de trabajo convocado con financiación de Tusk Philanthropies para desarrollar estándares que garanticen que la votación por Internet sea segura y privada. El grupo de trabajo concluyó que no podía emitir tales estándares y afirmó que "el entorno actual de ciberseguridad y el estado de la tecnología hacen que sea inviable para el grupo de trabajo redactar estándares responsables para apoyar el uso de la devolución de votos por Internet en las elecciones públicas de Estados Unidos...

New York Times: The Election Is Over. The Fight Over Voting Rules and Gerrymanders Isn’t.
Voting rights advocates are mulling whether to mount another dauntingly expensive ballot initiative to make the commitment to nonpartisan maps ironclad, said Catherine Turcer, the executive director of Common Cause Ohio.
And the bar to success might get even higher. Republican legislators proposed a constitutional amendment last month that would raise the threshold for voter approval of constitutional changes to 60 percent of the vote, from the current simple majority.

“Symone” de MSNBC (VIDEO): Kathay Feng de Common Cause analiza la amenaza a la democracia que plantea el caso Moore v. Harper de la Corte Suprema
“Creo que la razón por la que Common Cause está luchando tan duro para asegurarse de que la gente común entienda lo que está en juego en Moore v. Harper es que no se trata solo de quién decide cómo se trazan los límites de los distritos en Carolina del Norte. Se trata fundamentalmente de nuestra democracia estadounidense”, le dice la directora nacional de redistribución de distritos de Common Cause, Kathay Feng, a Symone Sanders, presentadora del Symone Show de MSNBC.

New York Times: Supreme Court Seems Split Over Case That Could Transform Federal Elections
When the court closed the doors of federal courts to claims of partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause in 2019, Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the five most conservative members of the court, said state courts could continue to hear such cases — including in the context of congressional redistricting.
“Our conclusion does not condone excessive partisan gerrymandering,” he wrote. “Nor does our conclusion condemn complaints about districting to echo into a void. The states, for example, are actively...

McClatchy: Supreme Court hears NC case on elections, with big implications for 2024 and beyond
But the legislature’s opponents, led by Common Cause and Supreme Court litigator Neal Katyal, said there is far more historical precedent in favor of continuing the same set of checks and balances that have always been in place.
Katyal also said the Supreme Court has been incredibly hesitant in the past to rule on state constitutional issues. Yet ruling in favor of North Carolina lawmakers in Moore v. Harper, he said, would render state constitutions toothless in every state in the country — at least when it comes to...
