However, even in states with open carry laws and no restrictions on guns at locations that host polling, such as churches and schools, prohibitions on guns prevail, according to Suzanne Almeida, interim executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania.

"There are valid concerns now," Almeida added, "but we must let voters know about them without involuntarily discouraging them from coming to the polls."

"We will have more than 1,000 volunteers at polling stations for questions, and to be eyes and ears on the ground...

"Today's ruling is a relief to many Texans who qualify to vote absentee," Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, said. "Most of these voters have disabilities and are elderly. With only one ballot return site per county, these voters would have faced challenges in travel that might have made it impossible for them to vote."

Aunna Dennis, executive director of the voter advocacy organization Common Cause Georgia, said what happened Monday was a "math problem."

"A lot of people voted on the first day," and "Covid-19 precautions means each voter takes longer," Dennis said, adding that there were also reports of machine problems and a shortage of paper ballots that could be used as backups. "That needs to change," she said.

Sa kabila ng pinagkasunduan ng mga eksperto na ang pagpapalawig sa mga deadline ng safe harbor ay makakatulong sa mga estado na maiwasan ang isang krisis sa konstitusyon, sinabi ni Aaron Scherb, ang legislative director sa nonpartisan ethics group na Common Cause, na anumang pagbabago ay maaaring magkaroon ng "hindi sinasadyang mga kahihinatnan."

"Sa palagay namin, dahil sa mga naunang pahayag ng pangulo ... maaari itong mapagkakamalan ng pangulo bilang mga Demokratiko na sinusubukang 'i-rig' ang halalan," sabi niya.

Nagtalo si Scherb na maaaring maghintay ang Kongreso hanggang matapos ang halalan at pagkatapos ay isaalang-alang ang pagpapalawig ng...

Anthony Gutierrez, the executive director of Common Cause Texas, said that "many" of the voters affected by the rule change rely on public transportation.

“Many of the Texans who qualify to vote absentee have disabilities and are elderly, and they rely on public transportation,” Gutierrez said in a statement. “With only one drop-off site per county, these voters would face challenges in travel that might make it impossible for them to vote. The drop-off site limit will also make the one site in each country prone to lines...

“Many of the Texans who qualify to vote absentee have disabilities and are elderly, and they rely on public transportation,” Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas said in a statement. “With only one drop-off site per county, these voters would face challenges in travel that might make it impossible for them to vote. The drop-off site limit will also make the one site in each country prone to lines and crowds, endangering voters' health.”

"It's illegal in every state to harass or intimidate a voter away from voting," said Suzanne Almeida, interim executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania. "There are specific rules in the election code about not standing in the way of a voter and their franchise, and so poll watchers can't do that either."

"You need to cement districts ahead of time, so candidates know where they're running, said Kathay Feng, the national redistricting director at Common Cause, a government watchdog organization. 

Sinabi ni Sylvia Albert, ang direktor ng pagboto at halalan sa Common Cause, isang watchdog group, na ang pangunahing isyu na kailangang harapin ng malalaking kumpanya ay hindi ang pagkuha ng kanilang mga empleyado na bumoto kundi upang gawin ang mga botohan.

"Ang katotohanan ay hindi nagawa ng gobyerno na talagang ma-secure ang mga manggagawa sa botohan sa isang pambansang sukat," sabi ni Albert.

"Hindi lang iniisip ng mga tao. Pumunta sila para bumoto at may parehong tao doon na nandoon noong huling bumoto sila. Pero kapag sinabi mo sa mga tao, masisiguro mo talaga na nandoon ka...

“He’s either violating the reporting requirements or doesn’t anticipate to spend $100,000 or more on his presidential campaign, and the latter part seems unlikely,” said Paul S. Ryan, the head of litigation at the good government group Common Cause. “He’s missed an FEC reporting deadline on August 20 and is in [likely] violation of the law.” ...

But if West simply refused to comply, the FEC would have to step in and actually vote to bring him to court. Since Trump has failed to nominate enough people for a quorum...
