Proud to be a part of a great team helping build the standards courts can use to judge partisan gerrymandering, as explained in this oped. One day all states will have independent commissions, until then, clear standards for courts are the only defense.

A reform mantra as we approach 2024 from Mike Parsons: 'clarity counts when the stakes are high and time is short.' At Election Reformers Network , we're proud to help states with ECRA compliance to help achieve that clarity!

Great to see press picking up Election Reformers Network analysis of better ways to select state supreme court justices. Wisconsin's intensely partisan big-money race is exhibit A that electing justice will never create the independent impartial court citizens deserve

Nice call out of Election Reformers Network' work by David Brooks on PBS NewsHour Friday night, highlighting the very positive results in the secretary of state races. We're glad to have led the discussion on this issue, and encouraged by the good news this cycle.

These encouraging statements by Abrams and Kemp owe a lot to the Trusted Candidate Principles program led The Carter Center, the Gerald R Ford Presidential Foundation and dozens of other prominent organizations. Hats of off to them!

In the US the parties have a major role in declairing who wins, something no other democracy does. 2020 showed that even an equal bipartisan model will fail in our hyperpartisan world. Time for elections 'run by technocrates kept in check by courts.'

Trigger warnings are not given (and do not work) to protect vulnerable people. They are given to display the ideology and virtue of the warners.
This is why Broadway gives trigger warnings for plays about the founding fathers, but not about Nazis.

Huge spending on sec of state races might stop the deniers, but it will also hurt voter trust and further polarize how elections are run. Great piece by Nick Riccardi, mentioning Election Reformers Network and our advocacy for 'less partisan elections.'

NYTimes Opinion Watch⁩ gets the diagnosis right but not the cure. Elections are run impartially in all developed democracies, why not here? nytimes.com/2022/09/23/opi…

This is a bigger problem than 1 rogue county. We shouldn't allow politicians, loyal to one party, to certify results. In most countries election officials certify & their work can then be challenged in courts, right place to judge if anything went wrong.
