EAC Statement Regarding Inspector General’s Review of Fraud and Intimidation Report

WASHINGTON – The office of inspector general of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has issued its findings regarding an EAC research project about vote fraud and voter intimidation. The report stated that there was “no evidence to support allegations that the changes were made to the report due to improper reasons or political motivations.” The inspector general’s review was requested unanimously by the commission, and it is available at www.eac.gov.

An initial review of the inspector general’s report shows that the scrutiny surrounding these research projects was the result of inadequate internal procedures. The EAC takes full responsibility for these shortfalls. We are already taking steps to implement policies and procedures to ensure that we not only produce accurate reports, but that we are also able to clearly demonstrate a thorough vetting and validation process so the public will have confidence in the reports issued by the EAC. The commission will bring in expertise in federal contracting procedures, and has already reorganized the internal structure to improve efficiency, including assigning program area experts to perform contract oversight of the projects in their respective areas of expertise.

The EAC is not surprised that the review concluded that political motivations did not influence the process. The commission has strongly defended staff as being professional and dedicated federal employees, and that is why the commission voted unanimously in June 2007 to release and post more than 40,000 pages of documents, emails and related material, which are available in the FOIA Reading Room.

The EAC recognizes that some election administration topics are difficult and can be divisive. That is why the EAC is making the adoption of internal policies and procedures a top priority to clearly demonstrate the basis for the contents of reports issued by the EAC.

The EAC will make the much needed improvements based on this review as quickly as possible so the commission can focus full time on making sure election officials have the tools they need to conduct accurate, accessible, and secure elections.

4. Count with the machines, then Hand Count the Ballots before they leave your neighborhood, The Reason

Machines can sometimes misread or fail to detect the way ballots are cast, and when there are serious doubts, checking the machine count with a careful hand count is accepted far and wide as the best way to know the true intentions of the voters.
