The Dubious Integrity of Alice P. Miller and the EAC

Introduction

Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) oversees the secretive election systems used in the United States. It has announced the appointment of Ms. Alice P. Miller as its Chief Operating Officer (COO).

In 2003, the Washington DC Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) wrote a report ( www.DcWatch.com/govern/ig030522.htm ) of an investigation into the unethical behavior of, among others, Ms. Alice P. Miller, Executive Director of the DC Board of Elections and Ethics. It states that Ms. Miller colluded with others to, in effect, unilaterally grant herself and a colleague $12,000 raises, and that she drafted fraudulent memos to do so.

A more detailed review of the OIG report as it pertains to Ms. Miller is at www.CountedAsCast.com/usa/alicemiller_boee.php.

Election Integrity

Maybe this is normal behavior inside the Beltway. Out here, it is not. At least in California, when they caught another registrar with his hand in the till, they threw him in jail.

Old fashioned integrity is at the heart of how elections work. Ms. Miller should not be serving as an Elections Director, much less as the COO of America's EAC.

Action

Citizens should insist that Congress should immediately conduct an investigation and hearings concerning the hiring of Alice P, Miller by the EAC.

Business as usual in the EAC is no longer acceptable when the stakes are so high.
