The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has not yet agreed to release a report drafted earlier this year that reportedly shows right-wing complaints about mass voter fraud – complaints that are used as the justification for restrictive bills that erect barriers to voting – are unwarranted. Please let your friends know that you signed a petition demanding that they do release this report so that we can get the maximum number of boxed signatures to put in their hands at their office here in DC.

As you know, the notion that individuals are fraudulently impersonating other voters in droves is the basis for voter ID laws and other extreme right-wing measures that – not by accident – make it more difficult for those not in the Right’s regular constituency to vote. The only problem is that many others in the US don’t know this.
Please get the message out to your friends so that legislators in DC and in state houses across the land can make their case against these laws with solid evidence that your tax dollars have already funded. Then maybe we can get our officials to focus on real election problems like voter disenfranchisement, list purges, flawed voting machines and unequally distributed voting resources and equipment.
We also wanted to let you know that we have filed a FOIA request ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) with the EAC requesting it release to us this report, so at least we can get the conclusions it draws out to you, our activists.
Thank you again for signing the petition – give it one more push to your friends!
