Dear Majority Leader Hoyer:
I am writing to urge you to bring H.R. 5036 to a vote as
soon as possible. The Emergency Election Assistance for Secure
Elections Act –
the “EASY” bill is needed to secure the November 2008 elections.
This bill has been approved by the Government
Operation Committee and the next step is a vote by the full House,
before it
goes to the Senate.
In order for this bill to take effect in time for the
November election rapid action is needed by the House of
Representatives.
As you may know, Maryland
approved the transition to paper-based voting last year and this year
approved
the funding needed for the transition. Now
we need to assure election integrity nationally to make sure that votes
are
counted in a transparent and auditable way. This is the purpose of the
EASY
bill.
Your leadership is essential – right now. As the Majority Leader you
are charged with managing the
House Floor and scheduling legislation for consideration, as well as
helping to
unify the Caucus and deliver the Democratic message. This is
exactly what is needed now.
Thank you for your attention to
this important matter.
