<\/a>There has been a lot of banter back and forth between members of the Election Integrity community who are on both sides of whether presently filed legislation should be passed or dumped. Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s news finds four articles on HR-811 that discuss the issue in depth. We encourage everyone to read the four articles so they know what are the arguments. Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s articles are from Ellen Theisen<\/a> and Pam Smith<\/a>, both members of the EI community; Michael Collins, of the media; and Mark Ritchie<\/a>, the Secretary of State of Minnesota. Tomorrow Ellen Theisen will follow her article on HR-811 with another article on its Senate companion bill, S-1487, which is much worse and will be hard for any civil rights organization to support.<\/p>\n
