DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) came to the defense of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) claiming that “the EAC is the last line of defense that voter fraud is investigated and enforcing the consequences for engaging in voter fraud.” 

In her interview with MSNBC, she then accuses the Republicans of hypocrisy in their vote to terminate the EAC because there would no longer be an agency investigating voter fraud, an issue supposedly important to the GOP.  Yesterday, Democrats make other similarly misinformed statements on the floor of the House of Representatives, stating that the EAC had the power to protect the voting rights and voting access of citizens  It has neither the responsibility nor the enforcement powers the Democrats claim it has. 

The fact is that the EAC doesn’t investigate voter fraud criminal violations or enforce a single civil or criminal law designed to prevent voter fraud.  The EAC also doesn’t enforce any law to provide voter access to the polls.  That job whould actaully be completed by local and federal law enforcement authorities, certainly not a civil agency with limited rule-making authority.   

Similarly, the EAC doesn’t enforce or protect the voting rights of a single citizen or actually administer any elections.  Apparently Schultz-Wasserman and the Democrats are helplessly confused between what the Department of Justice should be doing and what they dream the EAC is actually doing.  With DOJ failing to enforce laws might actually prevent voter fraud, it is easy to get confused.

A few things are clear though.  Wasserman-Schultz either has no idea what she is talking about or she is simply acting stupid so she can demagogue the issue.  Probably both.

Any fact-check journalist willing to take on the leading Democrat idiot leader?
