"This is not the way an institution created to promote democracy should function."

The above is a quote from Tova Wang describing her experiences with the Election Assistance Commission, which was set up after the debacle in Florida.

Wang, a Democrat, and an unnamed Republican were hired by the commission to produce a report on voter raud and intimidation and make recommendations as to how the problem could be cured. Although the writers set out to make sure the report was as non-partisan as possible, apparently the commission did not feel that was the case at least as Wang describes what happened to their draft.

It's another sad tale of where this country is today.
