Boston Globe: Trump uses presidential run to attack the institutions he says are after him
“He used his words to hammer at democratic institutions in ways that undermine trust and confidence, and it’s dangerous,” said Stephen Spaulding, vice president of policy at Common Cause, a nonpartisan good government group. “That is part of his playbook, which is to soften the ground to then attack the legitimate outcome of an election.”

Ohio Capital Journal: Even before office move is complete, Ohio Sec. of State LaRose appears to blur ethical lines
LaRose hasn’t responded to repeated questions from the Capital Journal about the move. But it would be improper for him to engage in campaign activities in the downtown Columbus building, said Mia Lewis of Common Cause Ohio, because it’s vital to keep the work of running a fair election walled off from that of trying to win one.
“You have to keep the campaign and the government work separate,” she said. “Once those things start to blur, it becomes harder and harder for voters to trust their elected officials.”

“The model bills sound like they are protecting our country but are actually designed to protect corporate interests. We have to shine a light on this,” said Viki Harrison from Common Cause, a group which for years has pushed corporations to break ties with Alec over the racist impact of its legislation.

Tallahassee Democrat/USA Today Florida Network: Judges to decide whether DeSantis intentionally hurt Black voters with North Florida map
"It is blatantly about race from Day 1," said Gregory Diskant, attorney for plaintiffs including the NAACP, Common Cause, Fair Districts Now and individual voters who want the congressional boundaries thrown out by the court.
They charge that DeSantis violated the U.S. Constitution's equal protection and voting rights protections with the Republican-heavy map that has left no Black member of Congress from North Florida for the first time in 30 years.
"Why did he care about this so much?" Diskant said, answering by...

Denver Post: Colorado lawmakers often win seats with dozens of votes. Would a different process to fill vacancies be fairer?
“We have every confidence that lawmakers who enter the legislature this way are able to earn the trust of their district and represent the interests of the voters in their district,” said Aly Belknap, the executive director of Colorado Common Cause, an election-advocacy group.
“Even so,” she added, “we know that this process doesn’t meet the standards of an inclusive and representative democracy because vacancy committees entrust this (decision) to a fraction of district voters.”

Newsweek: Ron DeSantis Poised for Huge Blow if Florida Election Map Redrawn
Common Cause Florida, the Florida branch of the NAACP and Fair Districts Now are suing to have the map which saw a North Florida district held by Rep. Al Lawson, a Black congressman, eliminated.
On the first day of trial, attorney Greg Baker, who is representing the plaintiff, accused DeSantis of having "pushed and pushed" to endorse the disputed congressional map which helped the Florida GOP pick up four House seats at last year's midterms elections.
"He pressed his argument by sound bite bullying," Baker...

MSN/Public News Service: Progressives call push to change Constitution ‘risky’
Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause, said the risk of a runaway convention is too great, because there are very few rules in place.
"We would have no idea who's seeking to influence the members of the constitutional Convention," Stein pointed out. "What lobbying would be happening behind the scenes? Would there be public-records requirements? Would there be transparency requirements? We just have no idea."

Tạp chí Ohio Capital: Ủy ban Phân chia lại Khu vực Bầu cử Ohio thông qua phiên bản thứ sáu của bản đồ Tòa nhà Quốc hội với sự ủng hộ của cả hai đảng
“Quy trình tham nhũng, phi dân chủ này đã dẫn đến việc tạo ra những bản đồ gian lận, giúp các chính trị gia và bạn bè của họ tái đắc cử, gây bất lợi cho các gia đình và cộng đồng Ohio,” Catherine Turcer, Giám đốc Điều hành của Common Cause Ohio, phát biểu thay mặt cho Fair Districts. “Chúng tôi đang cùng nhau soạn thảo một sửa đổi nhằm cấm các chính trị gia vẽ bản đồ để cử tri Ohio có được những khu vực bầu cử công bằng mà họ xứng đáng được hưởng, và các nhà lập pháp sẽ quan tâm đến người dân hơn là các nhà tài trợ lớn và những người vận động hành lang.”

CT Insider: CT’s absentee ballot boxes are under fire amid Bridgeport investigation. Here’s what to know
Cheri Quickmire, executive director of Connecticut's chapter of Common Cause, an advocacy group focused on accountable government, says the investigation in Bridgeport isn't a reason to restrict or remove absentee ballot drop boxes.
"This does not demonstrate a problem with the boxes," Quickmire said. "It demonstrates a problem with the local officials in Bridgeport."
In Quickmire's view, the boxes "absolutely are successful at giving voters an alternative way to submit their ballot."
