Dorothy Butler Gilliam, la première femme noire journaliste au Washington Post, a déclaré en 2019 : « Lorsque les journalistes sont qualifiés d'« ennemis du peuple » et que les femmes noires reporters, ainsi que d'autres reporters, sont insultées et traitées avec un tel manque de respect, je pense qu'il est tout simplement essentiel de rappeler aux gens l'importance des médias. »

“The impetus for releasing right now is there are some bills in the legislature that seek to empower poll watchers in some really scary ways, and also at the same time, take away the power of the presiding judge at the poll site from being able to remove a disruptive poll watcher,” said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas. The group blurred out the Republican official's name...

"If the result in Ohio had been that Biden won, it is extremely difficult for me to imagine that we wouldn't have a dozen bills already in the legislature now," said Mia Lewis of Common Cause Ohio, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog. ...

« Nous parlons d'États « violets », où les législatures estiment qu'une légère suppression des électeurs peut leur garantir une élection », a déclaré à Newsweek Sylvia Albert, directrice du programme Vote et élections de Common Cause. « Nous parlons d'États où la plupart des républicains sont au pouvoir, car même si la situation au Michigan suscite des inquiétudes, nous pensons que le gouverneur démocrate opposerait son veto à des projets de loi portant atteinte au droit de vote. » « Le défi auquel nous sommes confrontés est une refonte de notre système électoral sans une évaluation critique…

“These bills are intentionally, horrifically, anti-voter,” Aunna Dennis, the Georgia president of the good-government group Common Cause, said in a statement. “When the 2022 election comes around, we won’t be able to vote in the ways we have used for the past 15 years—and it will be perfectly clear who’s responsible for rolling back the hands of time and returning Georgia to the Jim Crow era status quo of voter suppression.”

"Those who won the election, who have the majority are going to be faced with a choice: do they protect voting rights or do they protect the filibuster rule?" said Stephen Spaulding, senior counsel for public policy & senior adviser at Common Cause. "I don't think saying, 'Oh, but the filibuster,' is going to cut it."

The fundraising numbers signal just how potent the election fraud argument became with Trump's most loyal supporters, experts told ABC News. Paul S. Ryan, a vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, a Washington-based good-government group, called the fundraising effort deceptive.

Common Cause Maryland, a redistricting reform advocacy group, said that the commission “helps our collective efforts to ensure Maryland’s line-drawing process is open and transparent.”

Experts like Jesse Littlewood, vice president of campaigns at the nonpartisan watchdog group Common Cause, say the lack of moderation on apps like Parler is normalizing hate speech and other forms of "toxic" online content.

"These platforms are where individuals can see their worldview reflected and encouraged, even if in complete opposition to the facts," said Littlewood.
