U.S. Election Assistance Commission Sued for Improperly Loosening Voting System Standards After Private Meetings With Voting Machine Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A federally appointed election advisor and the pro-democracy legal advocacy organization Free Speech For People filed a federal lawsuit today alleging the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”) met with voting machine manufacturers privately to unlawfully solicit vendors’ comments on the federal voting system standards, and these meetings led to weakening the standards to allow internet connectivity in voting systems.
The complaint, filed in US District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges violations under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (“HAVA”), and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”). Plaintiffs Professor Philip B. Stark and Free Speech For People claim that these back-door meetings resulted in secretly developed revisions to the standards that benefit manufacturers by weakening voting system security to reduce costs. The revisions were released mere days before the Commission’s vote to approve the new standards, without the proper notice and comment procedure required by law.
