  • Independents Send Letter to DNC Chair Tom Perez You Can Add Your Voice Today!
    The Hub - Online Newsletter of Independent Voting December 17, 2018 Independents Send Letter to DNC Chair Tom Perez You can add your voice today! Jackie Salit, the President of Independent Voting, invited leaders and activists of Independent Voting to join her in sending a letter to Tom Perez, chair of the Democratic National Committee . The letter asks Perez to meet with a group of independent leaders and take the decisive step of opening the 2020 presidential primaries and caucuses to independent voters. Sent to Tom Perez on Wednesday, December 12, the letter was signed by 270 activists from 46 states and Washington, DC as part of the Eyes on 2020 campaign. The campaign aims to bring the issue of Jackie Salit independents' participation in the 2020 presidential primaries center stage. It comes in the wake of the midterm elections where independents played a decisive role in Democrats regaining control of the House for the first time in 10 years. The letter states: "While we, the undersigned, make no pledge or commitment with regard to supporting any particular 2020 presidential candidate ­­ Democratic, Republican, minor party or independent ­­ we believe the time has come for both governing parties, and for the Democratic Party in particular, to take the decisive step of opening the 2020 presidential primaries to independents. Your Tom Perez party has announced that its first order of business in the new Congress will be the introduction of HB1, a political reform bill. However, to be a truly inclusive democracy, non­aligned voters must have full access to the electoral process, which HB1 does not address." To read the full letter, click here.

Plaintiffs, ) SA-11-CA-360-OLG-JES-XR ) v. ) ) STATE OF TEXAS, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONGRESSPERSONS PLAINTIFF-INTERVENORS’ POST-TRIAL BRIEF TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT: BACKGROUND: The African-American Congressional Intervenors consists of Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston and Congressman Alexander Green of Houston. The Legislature made changes in the 2013 map that included changes to the districts of all three Congresspersons. The Congresspersons are not challenging the current configuration or composition of Congressional Districts 9 and 18 in this litigation, though they support efforts to achieve additional minority representation in the Houston area that does not require changes to Congressional Districts 9 and 18. It 1 Case 5:11-cv-00360-OLG-JES-XR Document 1528 Filed 07/31/17 Page 2 of 32 is their position, however, that there is overall underrepresentation of minorities in the current Congressional Plan, the Dallas Fort Worth Configuration is resulting from intentional discrimination and dilutes minority voting strength, and that CD30 is still packed and cracked and was constituted in a manner to dilute minority voting strength. The African-American Congresspersons support the new Congressional Map tendered by the Texas NAACP for the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Congresspersons are adopting Texas NAACP’s arguments on the Congressional Plan. The appendix to the brief will attempt to respond to some of the questions tendered by the Court and the brief will focus on the issues of discriminatory intent and coalition districts.

  • August 28, 2019 Mr. Tom Perez Chairman Democratic National
    August 28, 2019 Mr. Tom Perez Chairman Democratic National Committee 430 South Capitol Street SE Washington, DC 20003 Dear Chairman Perez: I write today to request answers to the enclosed questions, which will provide clarity for Democratic voters on how the DNC developed its debate criteria and certainty on how the process will proceed going forward. To date, the DNC has not provided information on how or why its unprecedented debate qualification requirements were set nor what the criteria will be for the eight future debates. The least we owe the Democratic voters is transparency about why and how decisions are being made on their behalf to ensure a fair process as the primary continues. Sincerely, Craig Hughes Advisor Bennet for America Enclosure Question s 1. Why didn’t you consult DNC membership — which is the governing body of the Democratic Party — or state parties in designing the debate process and criteria? 2. Why hasn’t the DNC informed campaigns of the entry requirements and qualifying deadlines for upcoming debates 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 so each campaign can plan its strategy accordingly and have confidence that the DNC is not moving the bar on behalf of the frontrunners’ campaigns? 3. If the rules have not been finalized for the next set of debates, why hasn’t this happened yet and when do you expect to get around to it? 4. Who at the DNC decided which polls would be sanctioned? What was the specific criteria for allowing certain polls and not others, and why has that not been publicly disclosed? For example, why are polls from reputable polling organizations, such as Suffolk University, Marist College, and Siena College, excluded from the DNC’s approved list? 5.

  • Democracy Hacked: Cyber Threats to Modern Governments in the Digital Age Instructor: Jake Braun
    Democracy Hacked: Cyber Threats to Modern Governments in the Digital Age Instructor: Jake Braun Spring Quarter 2021 Introduction: A secure election, supported by voters’ confidence that every vote will be counted as cast, forms the bedrock of our democracy. However, as evidenced since the 2016 election, U.S. trust in voting systems have become a serious national security concern. Given cyber interference by foreign adversaries, the matter of “securing the vote” – something that was once almost exclusively the responsibility of state and local officials – has now become a priority of our nation’s top cybersecurity, homeland security, military, law enforcement, and intelligence leaders. And the United States is not alone in its vulnerabilities: As more governments do business online, there are more opportunities for states’ adversaries to usurp democratic power from citizens. As we look forward to future elections, we must expect potentially devastating attacks on our voting systems. They are irresistible targets for attackers to attempt to manipulate in order to undermine confidence in our democracy. In addition to Russia, many other groups, including North Korea, Iran, ISIS, China, and large foreign and domestic crime rings, have the resources to successfully attack our current voting systems. In fact, when asked whether Russia would attempt to attack future U.S. elections, as it did in 2016, Robert Mueller replied in his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that "they're doing it as we sit here." We urgently need to secure our election systems from attack. Course Description: This course is designed to offer students an overview of the current cybersecurity landscape and the implications for protecting and promoting democracy.

  • Montgomery County Council
    Montgomery County Council For Immediate Release December 7, 2004 Contact: Patrick Lacefield 240-777-7939 or Jean Arthur 240-777-7934 TOM PEREZ ELECTED NEW COUNCIL PRESIDENT -- VOWS FOCUS ON CONSUMER ISSUES, “BACK TO BASICS” MAINTENANCE OF COUNTY ROADS, PARKS, FACILITIES N George Leventhal to Become Council Vice President E The Montgomery County Council unanimously elected Tom Perez as Council W President for the coming year. The Council also unanimously chose George Leventhal, who chairs the Health & Human Services Committee, as Council Vice President. S Perez, who previously served as Council Vice President succeeds outgoing President Steve Silverman. The first-term Councilmember becomes the highest- ranking Latino elected official in the state of Maryland. R “I look forward to serving as Council President and thank my colleagues for their vote of confidence,” said Perez. “I look forward to tackling the tough issues that E await us in the coming year.” Perez, 43 years old, won election to the Council in November 2002 from District L 5, which includes Takoma Park, Wheaton, Kensington, and parts of Silver Spring. He is a Democrat. E “There’s has never been a more challenging time for local government,“ said A Perez. “ We see federal and state governments short-changing critical needs in health & human services, education, transportation, housing – you name it. Now, maybe, some local governments may wash their hands of it all and say, S ‘hey, we’d like to help but we just can’t.’ E “That’s not Montgomery County. We can’t do it all, but we must do all we can with what we have -- whether the issue is smaller class size, affordable housing, health care for the uninsured or more transportation choices for beleaguered commuters.
