As previously reported by The BRAD BLOG (here and here) the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is being accused of altering a report that they commissioned and that did not meet their expectations.
In this case the EAC was apparently hoping to show widespread voter fraud had taken place in recent elections but the report that they commissioned revealed just the opposite. The EAC buried the report and issued one of their own that came to no conclusion at all.
Today Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) sent a letter to Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Chairwoman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, which has oversight over the EAC, “expressing his concern over the revelations and asking her to examine the process by which the EAC report was produced. Menendez maintains that the use of the EAC to advance a political agenda is a blow to the integrity of the electoral system and that an investigation into the motivations behind the panel’s report is warranted.”
Mendendez’s press release on the matter is now posted here…
LATE UPDATE: Feinstein sends letter of inquiry on these matters to EAC, demanding all communications and processes leading to the alteration and/or hiding of both the EAC’s “Voter Fraud” report and the report showing that Voter ID laws depress voter turnout. Announcement and Letter to EAC posted here…
ADDITIONAL NOTE: The BRAD BLOG will have an EXCLUSIVE new report next week, on yet another recently discovered and astounding failure by the EAC on the heels of a few questions we had ourselves for them over the past week or two…
There may be some Hatch Act violations as well as making false statements to congress in all of this.
At a minimum there are serious ethics violations.
Hey Brad
these are two beautiful articles in a row and its friday 13th, GREAT WORK BROTHER! So the third line is We’ve found a WAY…….. the war is OVER.
I don’t know about this! Menendez sounds like one of those illegal names! 🙁
But you know what they say. “We’re there now”, (They’re here now.) And not only that! They’re mowing your lawn for peanuts and there are a hell of a lot of them.
And not only that! They’re nice people!
Let them vote Diane.
I’ve got a question, should a Senator who should be investigated for war profiteering be conducting an investigation into election fraud? Just asking!

You have injected a begging the question fallacy.
First you must “prove” that Feinstein is a war profiteer. And you must do that with evidence, not with declarations of your own opinion or even the opinion of others.
So what is your evidence that Feinstein is a war profiteer?
