Letter from Evan Bayh- Indiana
Thank you for contacting me with information on possible
voting irregularities. I appreciate you bringing this matter to my
attention.

It may interest you to know that on November 5, 2004, several
members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the U.S.
General Accountability Office (GAO) requesting an investigation into
alleged voting irregularities and voter disenfranchisement. The members
asked the GAO to "immediately undertake an investigation of the
efficacy of voting machines and new technologies used in the 2004
election, how election officials responded to difficulties they
encountered and what we can do in the future to improve our election
systems and administration." The letter specifically requests
investigations be undertaken in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and
California, but does not limit the investigation to those states. The GAO
has stated that it intends to release a report on electronic voting during
the 2004 Election in the near future.

There have been no hearings on this matter scheduled before
Congress at this time. Please be assured that I will keep your concerns
in mind, should this issue come before the Senate.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I value your input and hope
you will continue to keep me informed of the issues that are important to
you. My website, http://bayh.senate.gov, can also provide additional
details about legislation and state projects, and you can also sign-up to
receive my monthly e-newsletter, The Bayh Bulletin, by clicking on the

Best wishes,




Evan Bayh
United States Senator

EB/bm

Sincerely,

Evan Bayh

2. The Guy's a total WUSS-
He's a NeoCon Capitulator
He's been Bitch Slapped into Neocon Submission
There's no date on the letter, so it can't be cross referenced to
the Conyers' hearing
Notice how he shoves the work off to somebody else
This has turned into the Standard ball-less Democratic mantra-
there are groups who specialize in that topic so it is not our
problem
He's a Wussocrat
