A spokesman and senior adviser to Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), who conceded the election over Ohio, said the Commission's attempt at electoral reform was "deceptive."

"It's as deceptive as it is dishonest,” David Wade, the senator’s communications director, said.

“Talk about a window into the Republicans' sincerity on electoral reform,” he added. “This is the height of cynicism. First they cook the intelligence on Iraq, now they create a shadowy operation to hide the truth on electoral reform…With news like this, it's pretty clear the Republicans have other plans."
