Adam Kuperstein sits down with Susan Lerner of Common Cause New York to talk about an illegal purge of the voter rolls in New York City - and gets a rundown of what you need to know about making sure your vote counts this Election Day.

Susan Lerner is one of the city's leading experts on ranked-choice voting. As Executive Director of the nonprofit Common Cause, she was instrumental in the campaign during New York City ballot initiative to bring ranked-choice voting to New York City primaries and special elections. That measure, as part of a slate of Charter Commission recommendations, passed last November and goes into effect in 2021. But while an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers voted in favor of the change - there's still a lot of confusion about what it is, how it will work - and who stands to benefit.

Henal Patel, director of the Democracy and Justice program at the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice (NJISJ), Laura Smits, vice president of voter services for the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, and Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, explain how to vote in the tri-state area and answer listeners' questions about voting and making sure your vote counts.

Given that a significant portion of poll workers are typically over the age of 60 (and more vulnerable to COVID-19 complications), there is a shortage of poll workers for the upcoming election.  Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, and Brianna Cea, CEO and co-founder of Generation Vote, talk about the effort to recruit workers from the ranks of young voters.  ⇒Power to the Polls for more information on poll working, nationwide. ⇒National Poll Worker Recruitment Day, September 1st

Very first Book Club Edition of the BFF! Lisa Lawrie, Rafael Castaneda and Dr. Jenn discuss Greg Heller's mom's and Aunt's Book~ September Somewhere! Written by Susan Lerner and Nancy Meyer Book Synopsis-Charlotte, Ryan and Mariella...three friends, from unique backgrounds, bonded at the most elite law school in America. On the eve of graduation they make a vow to once a year reunite for cocktails, catching up and whatever else the weekend brings. They will meet September, Somewhere. From New York to San Francisco, Paris to The Hamptons, these ambitious young lawyers will see their promised reunions drift from casual, nostalgic gatherings to something far more complex, as ego, greed and a secret lust threaten to fracture their bond. And then there's Bermuda, and that night on the beach that cannot be undone. Inspired by true events, September, Somewhere is a peek behind the curtain at the world of young, top dollar lawyers, a place of status, suspect morals and infinite temptation. Charlotte, Ryan and Mariella will each pick a different path through this complicated world, but once a year those paths intersect. And that's when things get interesting.

This episode we travel to a future where the 2020 census goes haywire. What happens if we don’t get an accurate count of Americans? Who cares? Apparently the constitution does!     The 2020 census is currently in the crosshairs — census watchers say that it’s not getting enough funding, and community organizations and local governments are already worrying about what an inaccurate census might mean for their people.     To walk us through the current perils facing the census I talked to Hansi Lo Wang, a national correspondent for NPR who has been covering the census; Phil Sparks, the co-director of The Census Project, an organization that brings together groups who use census data; Susan Lerner, the director of Common Cause New York, a government watchdog group; Cayden Mak, the executive director of 18 Million Rising, an online organizing group that works with Asian American communities; and Dawn Joelle Fraser, a storyteller and communications coach who worked for the census in 2010.     Further reading:    Could A Census Without A Leader Spell Trouble In 2020?   US Census Director Resigns Amid Turmoil Over Funding of 2020 Count  Departure of U.S. Census director threatens 2020 count  The 2020 Census is at risk.

Doug is joined by Dick Dadey, Exec. Dir. of Citizens Union; Lucia Gomez-Jimenez, Exec. Dir. of La Fuente; and Susan Lerner, Exec. Dir. of Common Cause New York. The panel discusses the redistricting of the State of New York.

  2011 marks the year for redistricting – the once-in-a-decade process to draw boundaries that determine your elected officials from local school boards and city councils to state and congressional representatives.   As all 50 states begin drawing lines, battles will ensue among political parties, racial and other interest groups. On this edition, we examine the U.S. redistricting system and some of its pitfalls. What is gerrymandering and how does it affect us? How does the rise in prison population change power dynamics? What does the rise in Latino population mean for redistricting? And how can the redistricting process be fairer?   Featuring:   Barack Obama, U.S. president; Bernie Grofman, UC Irvine political science professor; Justin Levitt, New York University's Brennan Center for Justice counsel; Ed Rollins, former RNC chairman; Susan Lerner, Common Cause New York; Nancy Cordes, CBS News; Christina Hartman, Newsy.org; Alex Kellogg, NPR; EJ Dionne, NPR; Peter Wagner, Prison Policy Institute executive director; Neil Breslin, New York state senator; Mark Hugo Lopez, Pew Hispanic Center associate director; Nina Perales, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund litigation director; Lydia Camarillo, Southwest Voters Registration Education Project vice president.  For More Information: Gerrymandering movie: http://www.gerrymanderingmovie.com/   Prison Policy Institute http://www.prisonpolicy.org/ Northampton, MA   Pew Hispanic Center http://pewhispanic.org/ Washington, DC Southwest Voters Registration Education Project http://www.svrep.org/ San Antonio, TX Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund http://www.maldef.org/ NYU's Brennan Center for Justice: http://www.brennancenter.org/content/pages/redistricting_for_advocates New York, NY   California Statewide Database: http://swdb.berkeley.edu/resources/ Berkeley, CA   The Redistricting Game: http://www.redistrictinggame.org/   U.S. Census Bureau: http://www.census.gov/   Purdue University's links to redistricting resources for each state: http://www.lib.purdue.edu/govdocs/redistricting.html The post Making Contact – April 15, 2011 appeared first on KPFA.
