A major milestone worth celebrating! Congratulations @cid_research on this next chapter as an independent national organization —expanding your ability to advance research, data, and engagement that our democracy needs now more than ever.

[Eric McGhee @hezaproject]

Excited for this change! CID is one of the most important sources on elections and election reform, and has been tremendously consequential both in California and nationally. I'm proud to have collaborated with CID in the past and look forward to many collaborations to come.

[USC Schwarzenegger Institute @GovArnoldUSC]

Congratulations to @CID_Research on becoming an independent national organization—an important step that will strengthen its mission to support an inclusive democracy for all!

New analysis from Public Policy Institute of California (@PPICNotes) Senior Fellow Eric McGhee and Center for Inclusive Democracy (@CID_Research) Director @MindySRomero shows why eliminating ballots postmarked by Election Day won’t speed things up—and could disenfranchise voters.

They explain, “Speeding up the count means improving how the system works—not limiting who gets counted.”

@CalMatters Check out CID director's op-ed with @hezaproject on CA's "slow" vote count.....

[USC Price School @USCPrice]

“I just fell in love with the kind of work that Price does.”

Hear directly from Eleanor Love as she reflects on her journey, what inspires her about public policy, and what it means to serve as USC Price’s 2026 Undergraduate Commencement Speaker 🎓

From a passion for impact to a message grounded in both pragmatism and idealism, her story is one you won’t want to miss.

[Mindy Romero @MindySRomero]

New op-ed by @hezaproject and me - @CalMatters
CA’s policy of counting ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and arrive up to 7 days after has become a scapegoat. Real causes are the sheer volume of mailed ballots and how the state handles them.

@BPC has just released a timely and important report on who among American voters possesses citizenship-proving documents. I'm delighted they found the Survey of the Performance of American Elections (produced by @mitelectionlab) useful.
