1. Don't state elections boards and secretaries of state handle security for voting machines? Most elections aren't federal in the first place. If they're eliminating a redundant agency that seems smart. The machines can definitely be hacked, but they're often not networked so hacking them en masse is much more difficult. However, knowing that they were hacked isn't the same as hacking prevention.

2. Voting rolls shouldn't have inaccurate registration. The DOJ asked them how they're purging them.

3. He asked for public information. Military status is certainly public, if not often mixed in with voter registration. And since it's one of the often used reasons for absentee ballots, it would make sense to learn about it if they're going to try to make it harder to use absentee ballots unnecessarily.

4. They put a guy on the commission the author doesn't like politically. That doesn't mean a whole lot to me. Specifically the idea of voter id laws do not bother me, but this person is taking the idea of voter id laws as a systematic attack on voting rights.

This seems like an unprecedented attack on voting rights may be a bit of a stretch. Especially, since again, most voting is local and statewide, and not federal.

As always, the federal government has much too much power over us.
