As every member of the FEC start to serve expired terms, the Editors at Bloomberg.com asks whether We Should Kill the Federal Election Commission (FEC)
Given its propensity for deadlock, with the panel’s three
Republicans pitted against its three (and now, due to vacancy,
only two) Democrats, the FEC is arguably the most dysfunctional
agency in the federal government.
Members of Congress are more confident that the “Zombie Agency” otherwise known as the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), is the most dysfunctional agency in the federal government. With the departure of each commissioner and majority of professional staff, the agency is an empty shell.
“The EAC, an obsolete agency that has long outlived its purpose, now has
no commissioners, no executive director, and no general counsel. It is
a zombie agency, lumbering forward lifelessly devouring taxpayer
dollars.“
