In the below article from Nation Magazine, the House Administration Committee voted along party lines to eliminate the Federal Election Assistance Commission whose purpose is to ensure that voting machine errors like hacking or double chads (like in the Election of 2000) do not occur. Why are the Republicans afraid of Democracy? They continually try to look for ways to undermine the democratic process through suppression, gerrymandering, and voting opportunity restrictions. Of course one can see a historical reason for this with two of the last Republicans winners for the White House winning elections without the benefit of a popular vote majority under questionable results (Florida recount, F.B.I. interference, Russian Hacking). Progressives need to fight these measures from the ground up to ensure that every vote participates and every vote counts.
