The USA Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is undergoing scrutiny by Congress and is at risk of getting scrapped

From a The Hill article, which offers reader commenting:

"The House Administration Committee is questioning the long-term viability of the independent commission established in the wake of the contested 2000 presidential election to improve how elections are conducted nationwide. 

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission, established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002, has disbursed over $3 billion in “requirements” payments to states to update voting machines and enhance election administration, but the commission has seen that funding significantly decline in recent years. 

At the Elections Subcommittee hearing Thursday on its operations and fiscal 2012 budget request, lawmakers targeted the commission’s funding, bureaucracy and current lack of a quorum."

 
Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
