In an election year marked by division and conflict, from the presidential to the local level, it’s all the more remarkable that California has one statewide ballot measure that enjoys support from a broad and diverse list of labor, business, and health care groups, as well as political leaders from both major parties.  In fact, the measure has no organized opposition.

Business guru Michael Porter and his colleagues at Harvard Business School released their latest annual report on the state of the U.S. economy's health and its ability to created shared prosperity for all Americans. A critical finding: the failing U.S. political system is the number one constraint on our economy.

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) claims that it uses “nonpartisan criteria” to select participants for the presidential debates. However, publicly available information shows that one of the polls used to determine participants, the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, is run by Democratic and Republican pollsters.

The NBC-Wall Street Journal poll is not actually run by those news organizations. It is run by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies. Both are partisan organizations on opposite ends of the establishment aisle.

On Tuesday, Trump revealed details of his child care and maternity leave plans during a speech in Pennsylvania. Of particular interest is the idea of extending unemployment benefits for maternity leave.

While this might 'sound' like a plausible idea, it's a plan that would complicate an already overburdened state system of unemployment insurance, threatening the foundations of the program itself.

With back to school season in full swing, and an impending presidential election, the nation’s eyes are turning once more toward our young people — specifically, our college students.

It’s no secret that young people and millennials (there’s that uncharitable catch-all again) played a significant role in the election of Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Talking heads, pundits, and formal studies have all referred to the student vote in those elections as “decisive.”

Gallup reported Wednesday that more people distrust mass media "to report the news fully, accurately and fairly" now than at any other time in Gallup polling history. According to the polling agency, only 32 percent of poll respondents said they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media.

When Californian voters head to the polls on November 8 for the General Election, they will be faced with 17 statewide propositions. We have summarized each proposition with arguments for and against to help you cast an informed vote.

Georgia voters returned to the polls on July 26 for a round of primary runoffs, where they were asked to choose between the top two vote-getters in any primary race where no candidate won a majority of the vote.

Thousands of out-of-state lawsuits are flooding into California courts, bogging down the judicial system and costing state taxpayers money. Yet, most of these cases involve people who do not even live in the state.

The practice is called mass tort. In short, a handful of law firms bundle thousands of product liability lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies and file them in California. However, as it turns out, a vast majority of these cases do not have a single plaintiff who is a resident of California.

Sioux Falls, S.D. -  Amendment V Nonpartisan Elections in South Dakota received two major endorsements Tuesday. The South Dakota League of Women Voters and AARP South Dakota announced their support for Amendment V, citing the 115,000 independent voters who are largely excluded from the current system. Both organizations say nonpartisan election reform is best for all voters.
