Michigan Needs Its Own Voting Rights Act
Litigation
Agee v. Benson Amicus Brief
Common Cause filed a joint amicus brief arguing that the court should scrutinize Michigan’s state Senate map further to determine whether it dilutes Black voting power, particularly in Detroit.
Featured Issues
National Popular Vote & Electoral College
We deserve presidential elections where every voter has an equal voice and where the winning candidate must engage with all 50 states. Common Cause is pushing to fix the broken Electoral College.
Voting Rights Restoration
A democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people must extend the right to vote to all its citizens. Common Cause is pushing back against laws that disenfranchise and disempower millions of Americans every year.
Ethics & Accountability
Public officials should act in all of our interest, not to line their own pockets. Common Cause is fighting to ensure that all of our leaders are held to high ethical standards.
Ballot Language Access & Accessible Elections
Every voter has the right to cast a ballot independently and privately. We're working with local election officials to make that a reality.
