While these rules often fly under the radar, their influence on democracy is immense. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve invested years of work into strengthening democracy at the state level, ensuring fair access to the ballot box for all.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And today, we\u2019re excited to share that our efforts are paying off. In just the last few weeks, we've celebrated several major wins that push back against election deniers and extremist politicians who threaten our democratic process.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Fighting Illegal Voter Purges in Georgia<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Georgia, we\u2019ve taken legal action to block an attempt to purge more than 5,000 voters from the rolls\u2014an illegal move that would have disenfranchised thousands. With our voting rights partners, we are ensuring that every eligible Georgian can cast their ballot without obstruction or fear.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Stopping Electoral College Manipulation in Nebraska<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Nebraska, special interests attempted a last-minute move to rig the Electoral College, aiming to switch the state to a winner-takes-all system in order to gain a partisan advantage. But our members rallied quickly. Common Cause Nebraska mobilized dozens of people to fight back and stop this scheme, ensuring that every vote counts in the upcoming election.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Winning Fair Maps in Indiana<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indiana saw a historic victory for fair representation when we successfully sued the City of Anderson and its county election board. After 40 years of refusing to redraw its city council districts despite population shifts, the city is finally drawing fair districts. This legal win guarantees voters the representation they deserve.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Advancing Voting Rights in Michigan<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Michigan, months of advocacy led to the passage of the Michigan Voting Rights Act in the State Senate. This landmark legislation is a major step forward in protecting voters\u2019 rights. With only a few more hurdles to clear in the House, we\u2019re committed to ensuring that all Michigan voters have equal access to the ballot box without fear of discrimination.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These victories are just a glimpse of what we can accomplish when we work together. Across the country, Common Cause is fighting to stop attacks on our democratic rights and to pass laws that protect and expand voting access.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we prepare for what many are calling the most pivotal election of our time, we\u2019re not slowing down. Our Election Protection program is growing rapidly, with volunteers from all over the country stepping up to ensure that every eligible voter can make their voice heard.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, we are standing strong against voter suppression and defending democracy\u2014one state, one vote, one win at a time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
