House Committee Votes to Eliminate Election Assistance Commission
The House Administration Committee, chaired by Republican Gregg Harper, (MS-3), voted today to eliminate 2 measures intended to ensure accuracy and fairness in our elections at a time when the President howls about voter fraud. Opponents of the measure argued that the Election Assistance Commission "plays a vital role in protecting elections from hacking and other types of interference." It is unclear whether this bill will reach the House floor, but the action is yet another example of Republican efforts to undermine the democratic process.
