“Voting means the right to be in community.” 🗳️ Our episode with Kevin Johnson of @ERN_Reformers is up! #elections #vote #democracy #voting open.spotify.com/episode/6N7Hkn…
“Our elections officials are elected in partisan elections — no other democratic country in the world does that,” Johnson said. “The reason no other country does that is it leads to conflicts of interest.” ERN's focus area covered in today's @denverpost: denverpost.com/2024/03/25/jen…
Kudos to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, Utah's Chief Election Officer, for this proactive move following her predecessor's example in 2020. Public recusal from conflicts of interest in election management is a great way to demonstrate impartiality to voters. kmyu.tv/news/local/lt-…
ERN Executive Director @KevinJreformers for @fulcrum_us: In a polarized world in which a close and contested presidential election seems increasingly likely, it's important that Americans understand the rules and processes for "election overtime." thefulcrum.us/Elections/Voti…

"In a situation where we need neutral referees to decide what's neutrally the most objective way to present this proposition, we get people who are playing for one team," ERN Exec. Director @KevinJreformers tells @Law360 in this piece on ballot measures: law360.com/pulse/articles…
Recent surveys paint a picture of an electorate—in Arizona and nationwide—desiring fairness and impartiality in elections above all else. Election ethics legislation can put us on that path, write @HeatherBalas & @CarterCenter's @bjmsmith for @azcentral: azcentral.com/story/opinion/…
Commentary: What if the head referee in the Ohio State-Michigan game spent his free time leading rallies and fundraisers for the Wolverines? Frank LaRose's open advocacy is undermining voter confidence and proving the need for nonpartisan election chiefs. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/09/01/is-…
