CNN: Supreme Court rejects controversial Trump-backed election law theory
“As we argued to the Supreme Court, the independent state legislature theory was contrary to precedent and would have called into question hundreds of state constitutional provisions and decisions,” said former Acting US Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who represented Common Cause, one of the voting rights groups that challenged the Republican-drawn map. “Today’s ruling affirms the crucial role state courts play in overseeing federal elections.”

The Guardian: US supreme court rules against fringe legal theory in key voting rights case
“This is a historic victory for the people of North Carolina and for American democracy.

Miami Herald/Tribune News Service: Alabama ruling could bring good news to Florida Democrats
In the federal case, Common Cause vice president Kathay Feng said her group’s lawsuit also is supported by the Alabama decision, despite focusing on a different section of law.
“The Alabama ruling sent a very clear message that the court was going to look closely at the history of discrimination,” Feng said. “… Florida has a history of discriminating against black voters. And the impact was directly to take away the opportunity to vote from Black voters in the panhandle of Florida.”

Mercury News: Can Alameda County recover from botched elections?
“These things take time. You don’t just earn the public trust overnight,” said Pedro Hernandez, the Legal and Policy Director for California Common Cause, a voting rights and government transparency group. “We have to show the county’s voters that we are taking concerns seriously.”
In Hernandez’s view, the buck must ultimately stop at the Board of Supervisors. An oversight commission may ultimately help bring light to concerns and potential election issues, but it does not have the authority to resolve those issues.

CBS 뉴스: 델라웨어주 한 도시가 기업에 선거 투표권을 부여할 예정
감시 단체인 Common Cause Delaware의 대표이사인 클레어 스나이더홀은 "인공적 기관에 투표권을 부여하려는 시도는 매우 충격적"이라고 말했다.
"카운티 전역에서 유권자 억압이 일어나고 있는데, 이번 일은 그 반대입니다."라고 그녀는 덧붙였다. "시포드 주민들이 투표할 수 없다는 게 아니라, 비거주자에게 투표권을 부여함으로써 그들의 투표권을 희석시키고 있는 겁니다."

Boston Globe: Healey created a nonprofit to bankroll her transition into office. But, the donors are secret, and so is how much they gave her.
Geoff Foster, executive director of Common Cause Massachusetts, said while Healey’s use of the nonprofit is legal, it’s an example of why the state needs stronger disclosure laws to dispel any appearance of undue influence on an elected official.
“While we know there are precedents for this practice, for us at Common Cause it’s always concerning when private donations to public officials are not fully disclosed,” Foster said.

News Nation: Campaign finance rules blurred by super PAC backing DeSantis
“We’ve seen…candidates really pushing the envelope here, and there has been a rise in single-candidate super PACs,” said Stephen Spaulding, Vice President of Common Cause, a group dedicated to lessening the impact of special interests in government and politics.
“You have super PACs essentially operating as arms of campaigns — only they can take unlimited amounts of money from nearly any source,” Spaulding said.
“It’s time for Congress to step in and pass legislation to make clear that...
