Yesterday the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) announced<\/a> that “Special Circumstances” would require them to hold a public hearing next Tuesday, 1 May in Washington DC. The “Special Circumstances”? <\/p>\n

It seems that the state of Florida asked the EAC if they could use funds provided under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to replace their present paperless touch-screen DRE voting systems and someone at the EAC told the state that they didn’t think it would be alright for the state to spend their HAVA funds for anything like going to a paper based voting system. But, the EAC representative said that the Commissioners would have to get together and vote on the issue.<\/p>\n

So, yesterday the commission announced when that vote would take place; May 1. That’s three working days from now. That’s three days for the state and the state’s very active Election Integrity community to prepare their statements in favor of spending the states own funds for their own voting system.<\/p>\n

And, this public meeting that is very important to the state of Florida — will be convened in Washington DC to ensure that the commissioners make it as hard as possible for anyone to attend and voice their opinions.<\/p>\n

The EACs “Sunshine Notice” announcement is for a meeting that is murky and as closed as the EAC can possibly make it without directly violating federal law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
