Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) adds his voice to those, including the Brennan Center, calling upon the Election Assistance Commission ("EAC") to release a report prepared by consultants on voter intimidation and voter fraud. The Brennan Center has formally requested this report, along with a report on voter identification, pursuant to FOIA. Following the EAC's belated and recent decision to release the report on voter identification, Rep. Hinchey issued a statement expressing his hope that the eventual release of the voter identification report "signals a new day of transparency and sets a precedent for all future and previous studies and reports submitted to the EAC."
