Trump lied about Dominion, so Ds now think electronic voting is fine & refuse to discuss it. But there’s a bigger vendor Trump DIDN’T talk about & it’s security practices triggered an urgent investigation 40 days b4 the election. The EAC won’t comment. 1/

About the EAC

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) was established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). EAC is an independent, bipartisan commission charged with developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and serving as a national clearinghouse of information on election administration. EAC also accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems, as well as audits the use of HAVA funds.

Other responsibilities include maintaining the national mail voter registration form developed in accordance with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.

HAVA established the Standards Board and the Board of Advisors to advise EAC. The law also established the Technical Guidelines Development Committee to assist EAC in the development of voluntary voting system guidelines.

The four EAC commissioners are appointed by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. EAC is required to submit an annual report to Congress as well as testify periodically about HAVA progress and related issues. The commission also holds public meetings and hearings to inform the public about its progress and activities.

The Commissioners are appointed by the President, but confirmed by the Senate..

So there is going to be accountability. But when I wonder. Seems to me there are a whole of questions need answering.

in Maine and Florida that I heard of. When exit polling is off from the results it means there are potential problems.

That's not the way a corporation would act if they had nothing to hide.

This has been going on since Bradblog and Bev what's her name.
