TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2011 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 

COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION, 

Washington, DC. 

The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:30 a.m., in room 

1310, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Daniel E. Lungren 

(chairman of the committee) presiding. 

Present: Representatives, Lungren, Schock, Nugent, Brady, Lofgren, and Gonzalez. 

Also Present: Representative Wilson of South Carolina and Davis 

of California. 

Staff Present: Phil Kiko, Staff Director & General Counsel; Peter 

Schalestock, Deputy General Counsel; Kimani Little, Parliamentarian; Joe Wallace, Legislative Clerk; Yael Barash, Assistant Legislative Clerk; Salley Wood, Communications Director; Bob Sensenbrenner, Elections Counsel; Karin Moore, Elections Counsel; Jamie

Counsel. 

The CHAIRMAN. I now call to order the Committee on Administration for today’s hearing on the implementation on the Military and 

Overseas Voter Empowerment, or MOVE, Act during the latest, 

that is the 2010, elections. 

The hearing record will remain open for five legislative days so 

that members may submit any materials they wish to be included 

therein. As an initial matter, I ask unanimous consent that the 

members of the Committee on Armed Services, Subcommittee on 

Military Personnel, be allowed to participate in this hearing. And 

we I think will have them come along the way. 

Without objection, it is so ordered. 

I would like to thank my colleagues and all the witnesses for 

being here today. This is a necessary and vitally important hearing 

as we seek to evaluate the MOVE Act’s effectiveness during the 

last election cycle. This panel in the last Congress passed out the 

MOVE Act. It was passed on the floor of the House. It was passed 

in the Senate. The President signed it, and we expected it to be followed. This is a hearing to find out how well it was followed, what 

problems may have occurred, and why it was not more effective. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

We have two excellent panels of witnesses, each of whom possesses valuable real world experience in voting and election issues. 

As we must do everything we can to guarantee that our military 

personnel have the right to vote upheld, I am particularly interested in how to hear how successful States were in implementing 

the MOVE Act during the 2010 elections; why States were granted 

waivers for MOVE Act requirements and why they were denied; 

and what steps are being taken by the Department of Justice to ensure compliance without equivocation in future elections. 

I did take notice of the recently released Overseas Vote Foundation’s 2010 Post-Election Voter and Local Election Officials Survey 

Report. The report found that in 2010, 82 percent of sampled overseas voters received the ballot they requested, representing a 5 percent improvement over 2008. The report also found that the percentage of 2010 sample overseas voters who received their ballot 

after mid-October declined from 28 percent to 16.5 percent. These 

findings indicate improvement, but the problems are still not eliminated. 

According to the report, when the number of overseas voters who 

did not get a ballot or received their ballot too late are added together, fully one-third of the survey’s respondents attempted to 

vote but could not. While this is an improvement over the 50 percent reported in 2008, it is obviously not good enough. We must do 

better. 

The 1986 Uniformed and Overseas Citizens and Absentee Voting 

Act and the 2009 MOVE Act were both aimed at ensuring our 

brave servicemen and servicewomen are not disenfranchised. Given 

their sacrifice on our behalf, they deserve every effort to be made 

on their behalf to guarantee their right to participate in our elections. 

I now would like to recognize my colleague and the committee’s 

ranking member, Mr. Brady, for the purpose of providing an opening statement. 

[The statement of the Chairman follows:]

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I want to thank you 

for calling this important meeting hearing the effectiveness on the 

Military Overseas Voter Empowerment Act of 2010 Election. 

This represents a substantial effort on the part of the committee 

to make it possible to have our brave men and women, give them 

the absolute right to—in armed services—give them the absolute 

right and guarantee to be able to vote. 

Like any product of Congress, this legislation is far from perfect. 

And while I believe it has improved the voting process for millions 

of Americans living and working overseas, it is unacceptable that 

as many as 30 percent of the ballots may have gone uncounted. 

I would like to ask unanimous consent to have the rest of my 

statement be put in the record without me reading it because I am 

anxious to listen to our witnesses and be able to figure out any way 

possible that this committee, myself and anybody else can make it 

possible, again, to have the men and women that are fighting for 

our freedom in harm’s way, fighting for my family, my children, my 

grandchildren, to make sure that they have the absolute right to 

be able to vote and be able to have their ballot counted. 

So I thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I yield back the balance of 

my time.

The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the gentleman’s full statement 

will be added to the record. 

And statements of all other members will be added as well. 

And I thank the members of the Subcommittee on Armed Services for joining us here today as well. 

I would like to ask unanimous consent to insert these additional 

items into the record: two articles by a former voting rights section 

attorney J. Christian Adams that are critical of the Department’s 

efforts to enforce the MOVE Act; an article in the publication Advertising Age highlighting the Federal Voting Assistance Program’s 

outreach efforts to military voters through Superbowl ads; and four 

letters sent to the Committee on House Administration by the Secretaries of State of Indiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia. 

These letters detail those States’ efforts to comply with the MOVE 

Act. 

Without objection, they will be entered in the record.

The CHAIRMAN. I would like to introduce our first witness for the 

first panel, Mr. Thomas Perez. 

Since October 2009 Mr. Perez has been the assistant attorney 

general of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. 

Before taking that position, Mr. Perez was the secretary of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation for the State of Maryland, a professor at the George Washington School of Public 

Health, a Montgomery County Council member, a professor of law 

at the University of Maryland School of Law, a health care consultant, director of the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of 

Health and Human Services, deputy assistant attorney general for 

Civil Rights Division of DOJ and special counsel to Senator Ted 

Kennedy. 

We are honored to have you here, Assistant Attorney General 

Perez. We thank you for your dedication to public service. 

The committee has received your voluminous written testimony, 

which is not only testimony but the report you are required to give, 

so we will take that as the reason that it was 167 pages. I must 

say that is the longest submission I have ever seen, and we actually went through it. 

We will recognize you for 5 minutes to present a summary of 

that submission. To help you keep that time, we have a timing device near the witness table. If it is working, the device will emit 

a green light for 4 minutes and then will turn yellow when 1 

minute remains. When the light turns red, it means your time is 

expired. But we will give you a little bit of time since you gave us 

so much of your written paper work. 

We thank you again for joining us today and you may proceed. 

STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE THOMAS E. PEREZ, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR CIVIL RIGHTS, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Mr. PEREZ. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

It is an honor to be here, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Brady 

and other members of the committee and other members of the 

Armed Services Subcommittee. 

Thank you for the opportunity to testify today about the Justice 

Department’s efforts to enforce the MOVE Act, and thank you for 

your leadership in securing the passage of the MOVE Act. 

The MOVE Act’s enactment in 2009 was the most important advancement in the area of military and overseas voter law in over 

20 years, and we welcome the new protections it provided. Ensuring that our military service-members and their families, as well 

as American civilians living overseas, can have their voices heard 

in the electoral process is a responsibility that the Justice Department takes very seriously. And the Department has made the fair, 

aggressive and independent enforcement of UOCAVA and the 

MOVE Act a top priority. 

The Department strongly supported the new protections included 

in the MOVE Act, and the President proudly signed it into law in 

October of 2009. After its passage, the Department geared up to 

ensure the MOVE Act would be implemented successfully across 

the Nation.

Leading up to the 2010 general election, the division’s Voting 

Section devoted more than 20 staff members to this nationwide enforcement program. Just a few months after the law was passed, 

we contacted every State and territory in writing to explain the 

new requirements and sought information on compliance. 

We worked closely with our colleagues at the Department of Defense Federal Voting Assistance Program and the General Counsel’s Office at the Department of Defense, analyzing the changes 

and making sure that we were together in our enforcement of the 

law. 

After our letters went out in April of 2010, we provided substantial technical assistance to States. Our goal was to answer questions; anticipate and prevent problems; and provide guidance that 

enabled States to implement effective programs. 

In addition to our State outreach, we reached out from time to 

time to local election officials to obtain information and fill information gaps. 

A number of States passed laws to ensure that their voting practices conformed to the MOVE Act. Three such States, Indiana, 

West Virginia and Florida, are represented here today. 

We also consulted with DOD as they fulfilled their statutory role 

to grant or deny waiver requests under the MOVE Act. Twelve 

States and territories applied for waivers: Five were granted; six 

were denied; and one State withdrew its waiver application. For 

States where the waiver applications were denied, on the same day 

as the denial notification, we notified them as well that I had authorized the filing of lawsuits to ensure compliance. Our attorneys 

immediately began working with those jurisdictions, and we 

reached resolutions with all six of them. 

Overall, the Department took action to resolve compliance concerns in 14 jurisdictions, including 11 States, 2 territories, and the 

District of Columbia. Of the 14 jurisdictions, we filed lawsuits in 

5, obtaining a court order in one and 4 court-approved consent decrees. In the other jurisdictions, we obtained four out-of-court 

memorandum agreements and five informal resolutions, which 

were typically letter agreements memorializing the changes that 

the States made to come in compliance. 

Ensuring that every military and overseas voter who wanted to 

cast a ballot had the opportunity to do so was our goal and continues to be our goal. So we took enforcement actions in States 

where violations affected many thousands of voters, as well as in 

States where they affected a few dozen. Our consent decrees in 

New York and Wisconsin, for example, afforded a remedy for thousands of UOCAVA voters, while the remedy in our lawsuit against 

Guam affected about 100 voters and Nevada involved one county 

and 35 voters. 

Our quick negotiations with officials in the six jurisdictions 

where waiver applications were denied resulted in a consent decree 

with Wisconsin and out-of-court agreements with the remaining 

five jurisdictions. 

The division also filed a lawsuit against New York, which had received a waiver but failed to comply with the terms of the waiver. 

We negotiated a consent decree with New York that mandated corebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

37 

rective measures, including an extension of the ballot receipt deadline until November 24th. 

The Department also initiated enforcement actions for failure to 

comply with the 45-day requirement in States that had not sought 

waivers, including filing lawsuits and reaching consent decrees 

with Illinois and New Mexico; filing a lawsuit and winning a courtordered injunction in Guam; and obtaining informal agreements in 

Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and North Dakota. 

The Voting Section’s nationwide effort to enforce the MOVE Act 

in the 2010 cycle was an unprecedented effort, unmatched in any 

other Federal general election cycle with respect to any other voting statute. 

Since its passage in 1986, a total of approximately 40 UOCAVA 

lawsuits have been filed. Five of them were filed in the 2010 cycle. 

Our efforts benefitted tens of thousands of voters in the 14 States 

and territories where we took action, as well as other States across 

the country where we worked with officials to ensure compliance 

without enforcement actions. 

Since the election, we have continued our monitoring efforts, not 

only in the 14 jurisdictions with which we had formal or informal 

agreements, but across the country. Just last week I met with 

State election directors, attended the conference of the National Association of Secretaries of State, and spoke at the Overseas Vote 

Foundation conference. 

I read the report that you noted, Mr. Chairman, with great interest. We are working with the Election Assistance Commission to 

review the data as it comes in, and we are receiving data required 

by the agreements in our cases. We will also continue to consult 

with the Department of Defense. 

Our goal in all of the post-election outreach and data review is 

to learn from our experiences and to hear from a diverse array of 

stakeholders as to what went well, where there is room for improvement and what suggestions they may have for improvement, 

either in the law itself or the procedures that are in place. 

Some States may need to make structural changes requiring legislative action, such as moving the primary date, as some States 

have done. And others may also have to take additional actions. 

I am very proud of the work of the dedicated career professionals 

in the Voting Section. Their hard work assisted tens of thousands 

of voters. 

I am equally appreciative of the efforts of our colleagues in State 

governments, as well as local election officials, who worked tirelessly to ensure that service-members serving our Nation and others living overseas would have meaningful access to the ballot. 

But I am by no means here to declare victory. We continue to 

gather additional information and review the data to determine 

where we have made progress and where there is room for improvement. We continue to reach out to key stakeholders to see 

what they saw from the field. 

There is reason to be optimistic about the progress we made, but 

it is still too early to tell with precision how well we did or where 

there are gaps and why those gaps existed. 

One military or overseas voter disenfranchised is one too many. 

Our goal is and will continue to be 100 percent compliance. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

The MOVE Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan enterprise, 

and I look forward to continuing to work with both committees represented today on a bipartisan basis to ensure its full and effective 

enforcement. 

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, ranking member, for 

your time.

The CHAIRMAN. And thank you for your testimony. 

At this time, we will start the questioning with 5 minutes apiece, 

and I will start the questioning. 

You said that tens of thousands of soldiers were able to vote as 

a result of these efforts. How many were not able to vote despite 

these efforts? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is what we are looking at now, Mr. Chairman. 

The CHAIRMAN. Would that be in the range of tens of thousands? 

Mr. PEREZ. It is impossible to state with any certainty because 

we are still getting the data from the Election Assistance Commission, and we expect to get that data in the next couple of weeks. 

The CHAIRMAN. Would you be surprised if we are over 10,000? 

Mr. PEREZ. I really don’t know what the number is, sir, because 

what we are trying to do is gather the data and make a determination. 

The CHAIRMAN. Well, you claim you helped tens of thousands, 

but you cannot tell us how many were not helped? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is why we are gathering the data, sir, and we 

hope to be in a position to make those judgments in the coming 

months. 

The CHAIRMAN. I appreciate the work you did. I would just say 

for our men and women in uniform, we don’t allow them to come 

home with a success rate of 82 percent, or whatever it is, and tell 

them that that was a job well done. Frankly, that would mean loss 

of lives. And it just seems to me in this situation, we ought to be 

as concerned about their right to vote. 

Let me ask you about two States I am not sure you mentioned. 

You did mention my home State of California, where it did take 

some actions to record significant reductions in the number of rejected military absentee ballots as compared with the election in 

2006. But let me ask you about Illinois and let me ask you about 

New York. It seems to me those are two of the most egregious 

States in terms of their performance. 

In Illinois, you were involved in a consent agreement, but it appeared that your Department allowed some counties to be treated 

differently than other counties. Some were basically required to 

tow the mark; others were not. Can you tell me about the disparity 

in treatment of the different counties in the State of Illinois, and 

are you satisfied with the results that you received in the State of 

Illinois? 

Mr. PEREZ. We had a lawsuit that was filed on October 22nd. We 

filed a lawsuit and a consent decree that day. There were ballots 

in six different counties that were at issue in that particular case. 

And as is the case in virtually every UOCAVA case that has been 

filed since 1986, the remedy is to extend the deadline for voting beyond the date of the election. 

Some States already have provisions that extend that deadline. 

Illinois had those provisions as well. And when you factor in the 

provisions that allow for the extension of time to submit your ballot, along with the relief that was sought in the court, every voter 

and every county, except one, had the 45 days. And the one county 

that didn’t, Mr. Chairman, was a county that had until November 

19th. And the reason that November 19th was a hard deadline was 

because there was a subsequent certification deadline in the Senebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

207 

ator Burris incident so that you couldn’t extend it beyond the November 19th. So there was one county—— 

The CHAIRMAN. Wasn’t that subsequent election in all counties? 

Mr. PEREZ. But because of the peculiarities of that county, it was 

one day short in that particular county. Every other county, the 

military and overseas voters had 45 days pursuant—— 

The CHAIRMAN. Can you tell me anything about a report that 

was published in the newspaper and then republished in reference—at least referenced in subsequent articles, about one of the 

counties in Illinois where they ensured that ballots were delivered 

to people who were incarcerated with greater expedition than making sure that similar ballots were delivered to the military? 

Mr. PEREZ. I am not familiar with the particular report that you 

are referring to, sir. But I can tell you that when we went to court, 

we had a hearing. There was actually a motion to intervene that 

was filed in that case. And the judge in that case at the conclusion 

of the hearing ruled that the settlement addressed the needs of the 

voters who were potentially disenfranchised. 

So there was a hearing in that case, and the court, upon carefully reviewing the consent decree and the arguments that were 

made, concluded that the efforts in Illinois and the result in Illinois 

were consistent with the MOVE Act and consistent with ensuring 

protections. 

The CHAIRMAN. What about New York? New York, as I understand, after receiving a two-week waiver allowing the State to 

begin mailing absentee ballots on October 1st, 13 counties, including three in New York City, failed to meet the deadline and waited 

until October 5th or later to mail absentee military ballots. 

Mr. PEREZ. In New York, there were roughly 43,000 ballots that 

were not sent by the deadline. And as soon as we learned about 

that—and again, you are correct, Mr. Chairman, that New York 

did have that—DOD did grant a waiver to New York, and notwithstanding that waiver, they were not in compliance. 

And so it was—we learned in the course of our investigation that 

October 10th was the latest date that ballots had been sent out. 

And so the consent decree there set a ballot return deadline of November 24th, which was 45 days. So, again, using the 45-day period as the touchstone, we were able to obtain relief there, not only 

to fix that problem—— 

The CHAIRMAN. But didn’t they still have to have the ballot voted 

by the actual election date to have it counted? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is correct. 

The CHAIRMAN. So if it got to them basically too late to do that, 

the fact that you extended the time after the election for it to be 

received by the authorities was of no moment to them, right? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, that is why the MOVE Act is so important, because it does contain a number of provisions for the electronic submission of ballots to people. Or, in some cases, ballots can be sent 

via express mail delivery. And so technology is an ally. Those sorts 

of deliveries are allies, and that is why the MOVE Act is so important. And that is why when we were looking at various remedies, 

we used a wide array of remedies, including the electronic transmission, including overnight mail. Some of the various decrees and 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

208 

agreements that I described included provisions for the overnight 

mailing of ballots. 

The CHAIRMAN. My time has expired. 

The Ranking Member of the full committee is recognized for 5 

minutes. 

Mr. BRADY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

What tools could Congress give to you to improve compliance 

with this act? You know, we want to make sure that our men and 

women, again, that are protecting us have that opportunity to vote. 

Mr. PEREZ. Sure. And we share that interest. And that is precisely what we are doing right now. I am a big believer of plan, 

execute and reflect. And right now, we are gathering data, and we 

are reflecting. 

One of my first obvious reflections is that States that had problems were States that had late primary dates. A number of States 

moved the primary dates up. Hawaii is one of the States that we 

had to take action against. And they have already passed a law to 

move their primary date up. 

If you have a September election and you have a recount, you are 

never going to have 45 days to—or I don’t want to state it so unequivocally—you are going to be hard-pressed to meet those deadlines. And that is why states have moved their deadlines up. 

We are carefully reviewing, along with the Department of Defense, because it is their responsibility to make the waiver determinations, we are looking at that process. We are looking at how 

we can better communicate information at the front end and see 

whether there are additional tools that we can put to bear so that 

the information, the word gets out in an effective fashion. And 

frankly, what we are doing right now, Congressman, is we are talking to various stakeholders to find out—you know, tell us what you 

learned, tell us where it worked, tell us where you think it didn’t 

work and let’s dissect where it didn’t work and understand why. 

Mr. BRADY. We all mention the word States, but actually it is the 

counties. I mean, the State puts the law out when the elections are 

taking place, but then the county has got to comply. And in the 

State of Pennsylvania, we have a whole lot of different counties, a 

whole lot of different cultures. But what kind of harm or what 

could we do in Congress to make sure that the counties do comply, 

because in a lot of places if they don’t comply, there is nothing you 

can do to them, other than try and impress upon the fact you are 

taking away somebody’s personal right to vote? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is an excellent question, Congressman. 

And the MOVE Act puts the accountability on the States to ensure compliance. But you are absolutely correct; there are 9,000 jurisdictions across the United States that administer elections. And 

so, in the course of our review, we would, when we got information 

that led us to be concerned about a particular jurisdiction, and Mr. 

Chairman asked about some specific counties, we often got on the 

phone with that county to get even more specific information. 

And so part of our learning right now is, how do we ensure that 

in a system that is as decentralized as the system we have, with 

9,000 roughly different authorities administering elections, but 

with a MOVE Act that does put the accountability on the States, 

how do we thread that needle? How do we ensure information flow 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

209 

from counties so that if there is a problem, we learn about it as 

early as possible and can correct the problem? How can we empower counties with the tools that they need to ensure compliance? 

Mr. BRADY. Are you confident that up to the 2010 election that 

you did everything in your power enforcement wise to make sure 

that these votes were being counted? 

Mr. PEREZ. Yes, sir. 

Mr. BRADY. Well, you know, my point to you is that, you know— 

and I am not directing this at you, I think you do a great job, and 

you continue to try to do a great job trying to be able to have our 

men and women vote. There is a carrot and a stick. In the younger 

days, I always liked the carrot; the older I get, I am talking about 

the stick now. What can we do to give you a little bigger stick? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, that is precisely what we are looking at now. 

And I would like to get the data from the Election Assistance Commission and really study it and understand it so that I can come 

back to the entire committee with the answers to where was our 

authority limited and where could it be beefed up? Because I very 

much appreciate your carrot and stick metaphor. And we are, especially in the structure that we have, you know, with State accountability, with 9,000 local election officials or local election bodies administering that, I think that question that you asked is one of the 

many $64,000 questions that we need to collaboratively address. 

Mr. BRADY. Try to get them down to just a couple hundred instead of $64,000. Thank you for your time. 

Mr. PEREZ. Thank you for your time, sir. 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5 

minutes. 

Mr. SCHOCK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

Mr. PEREZ. Good morning. 

Mr. SCHOCK. Good morning. 

I am enormously concerned that in my home State of Illinois, 35 

out of Illinois’ 102 counties failed to comply with the MOVE Act’s 

specific requirements. As a result, thousands of Illinois men and 

women in our armed forces were disenfranchised, which is an 

abomination that cannot go without holding those responsible accountable. 

In St. Clair County, Illinois, home of Scott Air Force Base, 1,200 

ballots were mailed 16 days late on October 4, 2010. Illinois’ primary was held in the first week of February 2010, the earliest primary in the Nation, leaving a full 9 months before election day for 

the general election, yet preparations to comply with the vital Federal law obviously fell flat. 

The Illinois State Board of Elections director, Chris Cray, stated 

that ballots may not be counted even if the State was delinquent 

in complying with the MOVE Act. I believe that is outrageous and 

cannot stand and for which those responsible must be held accountable and which must never be allowed to happen again. 

It was also reported that the Chicago Board of Elections handdelivered ballots to the Cook County jail to ensure that voters there 

in jail had the opportunity to vote, yet overseas military ballots 

were casually mailed weeks late and in clear violation of the law. 

And then no remediation was accorded in counting ballots that 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

210 

were arriving back to the election authorities to make up for those 

election authorities’ failure to comply with the law. 

I have profound wonder at why the law regarding the date that 

voted ballots must be received to be counted was strictly upheld 

but not the unequivocal law about when these ballots were required to be mailed in the first place. 

Mr. Perez, I ask why did the Department of Justice not know 

about these problems until well after it was too late and until after 

the media covered what I believe was a scandalous situation? 

Mr. PEREZ. Congressman, we did learn about the problem before 

the media began to cover it. We learned about it through our outreach. As I said before, we sent letters to every single State. We 

followed up with every single State. And then, as soon as we 

learned about the situation in Illinois, we filed the action that I described. 

One thing that we did in Virginia is relevant to a comment that 

you made in your question. I completely agree with you that if a 

ballot arrives late after an election, as long as it has been sent before the election, the vote should absolutely be counted. And we 

went to court in Virginia to uphold that precise principle, because 

the failure of election officials to get the ballot out in a timely fashion shouldn’t prejudice the voter. 

So I completely agree with you on the issue of as long as someone submitted it by the election date, and as a result of the consent 

decree, the receipt dates were extended to—I think it was November 16th or 20th, and I will get the precise date, but as long as 

those ballots were received by that date, then they should have 

been counted. 

And one thing I will take away from our interaction is I want 

to double back to make sure that those ballots were counted. Virginia argued that it wouldn’t have made a difference in the election. I think that is irrelevant. If somebody has voted, their ballot 

should be counted. And so one thing that we are learning from this 

interaction is I need to double back on that because that is the first 

I heard of that. 

Mr. SCHOCK. You are not aware that the State Board of Elections 

director of legislative affairs in our State made that decision at this 

point? 

Mr. PEREZ. I am not personally aware. I don’t know whether the 

career staff is aware of that, but I will make sure I follow up on 

that issue. 

Mr. SCHOCK. What is the penalty for states and election authorities that fail to comply with the MOVE Act? 

Mr. PEREZ. The penalties that have been in place since UOCAVA 

and now under the MOVE Act are—the most common penalty or 

the most common remedy is the extension of the receipt date for 

the ballots. So, in New York, for instance, the date was extended 

to November 24th. In Illinois, you already have a law that grants 

certain extensions for I think up to 14 days. So, to the extent that 

they needed more than that, that is what the consent decree called 

for. So that is the most frequently obtained source of relief. 

We also get prospective relief, so that we are getting reports from 

Illinois, the other 14 jurisdictions where we have agreements. We 

are analyzing those reports. We are getting reports about what 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

211 

they are going to do prospectively, because what occurred in the Illinois election was absolutely not up to what we expect in terms 

of enforcement of the MOVE Act. 

And so we did our best to fix the problems in the November 2010 

cycle, and now we are actively working to prevent problems in the 

future. And that is not simply in Illinois, but it is in every jurisdiction. 

Mr. SCHOCK. Mr. Chairman, I realize my time has expired. I 

would ask permission to submit questions in writing to the Department. 

The CHAIRMAN. Absolutely. Any member can submit questions to 

the record. 

We would ask the witness if you receive them that you would respond to them in a timely fashion. 

Mr. PEREZ. Absolutely. Thank you for your time. 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentlelady from California. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Thanks, Mr. Chairman, and thanks for having this 

hearing. 

I think this is an extremely important subject. And as has been 

mentioned, this was a bill that received broad bipartisan support. 

Everyone agrees that our men and women in uniform, they are out 

there for us, and we have got to be here for them so that they have 

an opportunity to cast their ballots and have their ballots counted. 

It is just absolutely fundamental. 

So we took a good first step, and this oversight hearing is another important step to make sure that whatever shortfalls existed 

get corrected so that we don’t have any problems, hopefully, any 

problems in the next election. 

I am wondering, the Department of Justice has a lot of things 

it needs to do. In the whole panoply of things that your division 

needs to pay attention to, where would you put this? Was this the 

highest priority that you have, the second highest? I mean, how 

would you rank your attention to this. 

Mr. PEREZ. I think you can make judgments about how people 

prioritize something by how many resources they put in. We had 

20 people that were basically all hands on deck in our MOVE Act 

enforcement. That is almost one half of our litigation unit. And 

they were scouring the Nation and learning new things on a daily 

basis. It was a very compressed timeline for compliance. 

Ms. LOFGREN. So half your litigators were working just on this 

compliance? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is correct. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Let me ask you this. I mean, obviously, you have 

got teams spread out trying to find problems to do something about 

it, but there are also Americans looking at things and presumably 

drawing your attention to problems. 

Mr. PEREZ. Absolutely. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Were there any complaints that were brought to 

your Department that you were unable to respond to? 

Mr. PEREZ. We received information and complaints from outside 

stakeholders, as well as from States. I mean states— 

Ms. LOFGREN. That is what I mean, outside stakeholders. 

Mr. PEREZ. Oh, of course. And we continue to do that outreach. 

I spoke at the Overseas Vote Foundation meeting last week. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

212 

Ms. LOFGREN. My question is, you know, Mr. Smith says I just 

found out my county didn’t send it out, are there any of those— 

are there letters in your inbox that you were unable to respond to 

a complaint? 

Mr. PEREZ. Not to my knowledge. Whenever we received a complaint, whoever was assigned to that State would immediately respond and then talk to the individual who complained or the local 

election official or whoever the person was. And we would do our 

level best to fix the problem. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Now, part of, you may not know the answer to 

this, but there was a pilot project in the bill to allow the use of the 

Internet. And I think it was West Virginia and the District of Columbia that were the pilots. And it is my understanding that the 

District of Columbia was hacked. And I think it was the University 

of Michigan put their fight song on. I mean, they weren’t malicious, 

but I think these young people wanted to prove that it wasn’t secure. 

I have been one to believe that we are not ready from a security 

point of view to do Internet voting. But I also think that the capacity actually to transmit the ballot, not the filled-out ballot but just 

the raw ballot, overseas that could then be sent back by snail mail 

would really help a lot. Have you given any thought to that as a 

potential answer for overseas, because we have the Internet. You 

could print out the ballot and then you wouldn’t have to mail it, 

but then you could actually, the armed services could take tremendous responsibility for getting those ballots back to the right jurisdiction. 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, in fact, in Illinois, just to use an example, part 

of the consent decree required that anyone who wanted to receive 

the ballot electronically needed to be sent the ballot electronically, 

even if there had been a ballot mailed to them. So I completely concur that technology can be an ally, especially in the mailing of unfilled-out ballots. And that obviously can cut the amount of time 

dramatically when time is indeed of the essence. I also am familiar 

with the concerns that you have identified. 

And I think in response to your question, Congressman Brady, 

technology is going to be a big part of the discussion moving ahead. 

Technology can be an ally and was an ally in the implementation 

of the MOVE Act. But you have identified a very important barrier 

to taking technology to the next level. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Well, we could get half of the problem solved. I am 

not suggesting, I don’t want to be misunderstood, that we should 

move to Internet voting, because I don’t think the security is adequate for that. But I think the transmission of blank ballots—— 

Mr. PEREZ. And in fact, that occurred, and it is my understanding—the DOD was involved in that—but my understanding is 

that it in fact did increase. 

And the OVF report that you recognized, Mr. Chairman, did 

make mention of the increased use of Internet. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

My time has expired. 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Florida, the former sheriff, 

is recognized, Mr. Nugent. 

Mr. NUGENT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

213 

Mr. PEREZ. Good morning, sir. 

Mr. NUGENT. Good morning, sir. 

Good morning, Mr. Perez. 

Obviously, we have a number of veterans in the State of Florida 

that are deployed overseas, including, at any given time, my three 

sons. So, obviously, the voting act as relates to our military is of 

paramount importance to me and to my constituents. You mentioned about how you prioritize your investigations and that you 

have 20-some litigators assigned to that. Of the other 20, how 

many are assigned to the multilingual balloting initiative? 

Mr. PEREZ. I don’t know the precise number of people working 

on the bilingual ballot issue. I can get back to you on that. But section 203 compliance, which is the bilingual ballot provision, and 

section 4(e) of the Voting Rights Act, which is another bilingual 

ballot provision, are provisions that we have also enforced with 

vigor. 

Mr. NUGENT. So the MOVE Act, though, is your priority number 

one? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, the MOVE Act was a top priority. And especially in the implementation of a new law, which is why we deployed so many resources during the 2010 election cycle to making 

sure we did our level best to enforce it. 

Mr. NUGENT. Have hardship regulations been developed yet by 

DOJ? 

Mr. PEREZ. I don’t believe that is our responsibility to develop 

hardship regulations, but I will look into that. There is a lot of— 

there is a division of labor in the MOVE Act between DOD and 

DOJ, and I don’t know with precision whether the hardship regulation—— 

Mr. NUGENT. Will you find out for me? 

Mr. PEREZ. I sure will. 

Mr. NUGENT. So you are not sure whose responsibility it is? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is correct. 

Mr. NUGENT. And obviously, DOD is the one that offers the waivers? 

Mr. PEREZ. That is correct; they make the decisions on the waivers and under the statute in consultation with the Attorney General. So we did consult with them, but it was their call in the end. 

Mr. NUGENT. In your prior testimony, you mentioned that you do 

receive information from the Election Assistance Commission and 

you review that information on a regular basis. 

Mr. PEREZ. Yes we do, Congressman. 

Mr. NUGENT. There was a report from the EAC that showed over 

45 percent of the UOCAVA ballots received by New Jersey were rejected for various reasons. Are you aware of that? 

Mr. PEREZ. There are a number of reports that we have received, 

but it is my understanding that the Election Assistance Commission has granted an extension until March 1st for a number of 

States, and I don’t know if New Jersey is in that particular category—I thought it was for all States, but I am not certain of 

that—to provide additional evidence and information. 

And so our goal moving forward, and again, in response to a 

number of questions, we are very much in the outreach and information gathering mode to figure out what went right, what went 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

214 

wrong, why the things that went wrong went wrong and how we 

fix them. And so we are going to be looking at the data for every 

State, whether it is New Jersey, whether it is Florida, every State. 

And again, our goal is 100 percent compliance. 

Mr. NUGENT. Well, obviously, that is an important issue for Congress and for the American people. 

Mr. PEREZ. Absolutely. 

Mr. NUGENT. But I want to make sure that the over 30 percent 

of those who wanted to vote could not vote, and I want to have concrete solutions in regards to how we are going to address that. You 

know, we hear all the time about our military out there fighting 

for us, so we need to be fighting for them here in this Chamber to 

make sure that every vote is a vote counted and not one that is 

just dismissed because it is hard to get to them or an elections office has a difficult time with this. 

So my question to you really is, how are you—you touched on the 

issue about compliance, but how do we ensure there is compliance? 

I mean, other than going to court—and a lot of times, when you 

go to court, it still doesn’t resolve the issue because of the time-sensitive nature of balloting. I mean, how are we going to make sure 

that 30 percent in the 2011 or 2012 cycle get their vote counted? 

Mr. PEREZ. We make sure that we are vigorously monitoring. We 

make sure that we have redundancies built in so that when we get 

information from State A, we have other means of getting information to verify whether that is accurate. We have early warning systems in place. We are doing the outreach that we have already 

done so that there are boots on the ground, folks in communities 

who will provide us with that information. We empower voters. 

I have actually gone out to military bases to talk with commanding officers about our work in the employment context and 

the USERRA context, protecting people like your sons who serve 

our Nation with great distinction and come home and lose their 

jobs. I am talking about protecting people who are losing their 

homes, and we have a robust program of enforcement of the SCRA. 

And we are talking to base leaders, commanding officers about the 

MOVE Act, and I am learning a lot from them about how we can 

get the word out. Because one of the things that we need to do 

more of is get the word out at the front end to our servicemembers, 

whether it is the National Guard, as they prepare to deploy, make 

sure they know that you can’t—you know, you have rights not to 

lose your home. You have rights not to get your car repossessed. 

You have the right to vote and get your ballot in a timely fashion. 

Those are the things that I look forward to working with you and 

this committee on to make sure that we are doing all of those 

things. 

Mr. NUGENT. One last question if I may just extend for a moment—or I will do it in writing so we can move on. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. 

I recognize the gentleman, the distinguished former trial judge 

from Texas, Mr. Gonzalez, for 5 minutes. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

I refer to that as the good old days. 

But quickly, this is an important topic for all of us. And I will 

remind everybody that when we passed it I believe it was a biparebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

215 

tisan effort and I would like to keep it that way as we follow up 

to make sure it is effective. 

I come from San Antonio, Mr. Perez, and that is Military City, 

USA. And we mean it, and I understand that some of my colleagues may compete for the title, but they are mere pretenders 

when it comes to San Antonio. 

Mr. PEREZ. I believe Congressman Nugent may have some issue 

with that. 

The CHAIRMAN. Spoken like a true Texan. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. It is a healthy competition. 

Mr. NUGENT. And I was in San Antonio back in 1969, so thank 

you, sir. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. Air Force? 

Mr. NUGENT. Yes, sir. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. You have to go through basic training at 

Lackland, so if you are Air Force, I know you have been to my city. 

But quickly, I just kind of want a timeline, Mr. Perez. It is one 

of those things where you don’t want to act when it is too late, and 

you want to be prepared. And we are going to have testimony from 

election officials in a minute, and I am hoping to be here for most 

of that testimony; I have to go to Energy and Commerce. However, 

DOJ doesn’t wait until the effective date of a statute before you 

start preparing for its implementation, is that correct? 

Mr. PEREZ. Absolutely. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. All right. So let’s say, in March of 2009, you were 

nominated. In June of 2009, I think the Senate Judiciary Committee—or the committee, yes, voted you out 17 to 2. But you 

weren’t confirmed until about the first week in October so—— 

Mr. PEREZ. October 6th, but who is counting? 

Mr. GONZALEZ. Well, because three weeks later was the effective 

date of MOVE, wasn’t it? 

Mr. PEREZ. Correct. October 28th I believe is when the President 

signed it. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. Because you are the cop on the beat now. Starting three weeks earlier, you are there. The question, and I want 

to piggyback on my colleague, Congressman Nugent’s question, and 

you were talking about it, and you pointed out early warning system. And what do you mean by that? What is the outreach to our 

election officials so that you know way ahead of time, not when you 

get the request for some sort of a waiver, but I mean, how do we 

build that in? And then I have got a follow-up about the manner. 

Mr. PEREZ. Sure. I am a former prosecutor and I have had a lot 

of experience implementing new criminal laws. And what we do in 

those situations is really similar to what we do here, which is, as 

soon as the law passes—actually, frankly, before the law passes, 

you have prepared your outreach materials and your education materials. You have robust relationships with key stakeholders. You 

are building additional relationships. So you are out there early on 

getting the word out. 

And that is precisely what we did in collaboration with our colleagues at DOD. As a result of that, then you send out the guidance letter, which we did in 2010. I think it was March or April 

of 2010. And then from that guidance letter, the team of 20 that 

I referred to is fanning out to every State, answering questions, anebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

216 

ticipating questions, talking, if necessary, to local election officials. 

Because again, the relationship between States and then those 

9,000 entities that are administering elections is critical. And when 

you have that and when you have those systems in place that have 

early accountability, I think you can identify problems at an earlier 

stage. 

And one of the things we are going to certainly work on and redouble our efforts on is to establish those early warning systems. 

Because I would like to figure out a way if there is another Illinois 

or another New York, we have a shared interest in preventing that. 

And what we need to do is figure out how best to get those early 

warning systems in place. 

And we have implemented those. I have implemented those with 

police departments in the use-of-force context. So that if an officer 

has used force on a number of occasions, there is a yellow light, 

and Internal Affairs comes in and at least takes a look to see 

whether it is a problem or whether there is a benign explanation 

for that. And I think we need to work together to figure out how 

can we identify and prevent problems earlier on rather than during 

that frenzy of the 60 days preceding the elections. I think we have 

a shared interest and could have mutual benefit from that. 

Mr. GONZALEZ. And one last thing, Mr. Chairman, and with the 

chairman’s concurrence. 

I know you are awaiting further information from EAC that will 

assist you maybe in answering some of the questions that are 

posed today in the purpose of the hearing. And if you could supplement some of your responses based on the information that you 

will be receiving, I guess in March, that would be very helpful because we may follow up. And my time has expired. 

Thank you very much. I yield back. 

Mr. PEREZ. I would be honored to. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. 

And now the gentleman who is the Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel chairman. 

Mr. BRADY. Mr. Chairman, do I have a right to object? I am 

going to extend my right not to object because I am sitting here 

with my chairman and my ranking member of my subcommittee, 

and I want to be put on record that I allowed them and I want to 

allow them and invite them to testify. 

The CHAIRMAN. It was with the considered concurrence of the 

ranking member that you are allowed to testify—or excuse me, to 

ask questions here to join us, and we thank you for that. 

Mr. WILSON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

And indeed, I appreciate, Mr. Chairman, your national leadership on this issue of military voting. You and I have discussed this 

issue a number of times. And I know your sincere interest in military families and voting. 

And Mr. Brady, I am so grateful that you are on the Military 

Personnel Subcommittee. And I appreciate the references. This is 

bipartisan, because we all want our military voters to participate. 

And I am grateful to be here with the ranking member, Susan 

Davis, of the Military Personnel Subcommittee. 

I am like Mr. Gonzalez. I am very proud of the military facilities 

in the district. I have Fort Jackson adjacent to Fort Gordon. We 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

217 

have Marine Corps Recruiting Depot—Parris Island, the Beaufort 

Marine Corps Air Station and Beaufort Naval Hospital. 

I also have the perspective because I expect real high standards 

of election commissioners. I was vice chairman of our county election commission, and I know that with planning ahead, what has 

occurred should not have occurred. 

Additionally, I am the co-chair of the Americans Abroad Caucus 

representing 4 million Americans across the world. 

And then I also have the perspective that I have seen it done correctly. In my home county of Lexington, South Carolina, the election commissioner, Dean Crepes, the commissioners, the staff members of the commission, were proactive, and they made every effort 

for military voters to be counted. 

With that, a question is, did DOJ solely rely on State level election officials for their assurances? 

Mr. PEREZ. No. In some circumstances, when we had information 

that caused us to have concerns in a particular county, we would 

go and contact that particular county. So there are a number of 

States that come to mind where we had direct contact with the 

county election judges. 

I don’t want to overstate that. We didn’t have contact with 9,000 

election offices across the county. But as a result of our outreach 

activities, when we learned of a problem, we certainly—and it is 

part of the verification protocol, to call that particular county; hey, 

I hear there might be an issue, or can you tell me what the current 

status is? So, certainly in a number of jurisdictions, we did have 

that; although certainly not in every jurisdiction. 

Mr. WILSON. And when you did find out that there was a potential violation, what were the steps taken? 

Mr. PEREZ. We worked to fix the problem. I mean, obviously in 

Nevada, for instance, there was one county with roughly three 

dozen voters that were potentially disenfranchised, and we were 

able to reach an informal letter agreement with the State to fix 

that. Because again, although we have the 9,000 local elected— 

local election officials that run elections, the accountability under 

the MOVE Act is still with the State. So we would double back to 

the State and say, hey, you have got a problem in this particular 

county, and then work collaboratively to try to fix that problem. 

Mr. WILSON. And what steps are being made proactively to prepare for the election of 2012? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, again, we are reviewing all the data that we 

are getting from the Election Assistance Commission. We are 

reaching out. And I wrote down Lexington County because you 

have got a lot of experience. I look forward to reaching out to counties that have been doing it and doing it well for a long time to get 

that boots on the ground perspective—I am a former local elected 

official, so I have a lot of respect for people out there in the front 

lines and their knowledge of the nuts and bolts of basic administration. And so that is going to be—that already is and will continue 

to be part of our outreach to learn what went well, what can we 

improve, and then as Congressman Gonzalez said earlier, I look 

forward to sharing with you the lessons learned. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

218 

Mr. PEREZ. I hope to be able to do that as soon as possible, because we obviously don’t want to wait until we are right on the 

verge of the 2012 election to implement the lessons learned. 

Mr. WILSON. And you have been front line on County Council in 

Montgomery County. I am aware of that. 

I was intrigued by Ms. Lofgren’s point, to e-mail transmit ballots 

to be mailed back. What other remedies could be made to expedite 

the counting of military ballots before election—on election day? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, again, the e-mailing, just to be clear, applies to 

e-mailing the blank ballot, not e-mailing the ballot back. That was 

a remedy that we used in Illinois. That is a part of the—and my 

recollection of the report from the Foundation showed that there is 

a fairly dramatic increase in the use of that. 

Again, the use of Express Mail has been part of the remedies 

that we have put in place. Because, obviously, if you can shorten 

the time, that is a huge step forward. So those are the principal 

remedies. 

And then obviously extending the ballot receipt date is the most 

common remedy. And, again, some States already have laws in 

place that extend that ballot receipt date in some circumstances, 

including, I believe, Florida. And that can be helpful, although 

there are some who have concerns about extending the ballot receipt for the reason that you mentioned, Mr. Chairman, about you 

should really get that ballot out 45 days before the election. So we 

recognize that tension, and we don’t want that fail-safe of those 

State laws to become an excuse for noncompliance. We are very 

mindful of that. 

So these are the various considerations we are working to implement. And I can’t wait to contact Lexington County because, you 

know, once a local-elected official always a local-elected official, and 

I look forward to—— 

Mr. WILSON. Absolutely. Thank you very much, and I share the 

concern of the chairman. I believe the ballots need to be back by 

election day. Thank you. 

The CHAIRMAN. I thank the gentleman. 

It is now my pleasure to recognize a former member of this committee and the current ranking member of the Committee on 

Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel for 5 minutes. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I recognize that perhaps you all miss me so you invited me back for your first hearing. 

I appreciate that. 

Thank you very much, Mr. Perez, for being here; and I wanted 

to explore with you just a little bit some of the issues that I think 

you have touched on in many ways. When we have 50 different 

States with different rules, laws, that have to be complied with, 

which creates a certain amount of confusion, I suspect, on your 

part, but on the part of our military members as well, who are 

going online or are trying to figure out, you know, how they do this, 

many members tell us, men and women in uniform tell us that it 

is confusing to try and follow all of this. 

So I wanted to just think about what ways, perhaps, within article 1, section 4 of the Constitution, of course, we can comply with 

some more uniformity; and one of the issues is, of course, the requirement of a notary signature. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

219 

Now, in the MOVE Act, we prohibited States from getting that, 

but the reality is that it is still on the forms. And so, for a lot of 

people, they are still worried if they can get that notary signature. 

In the services, a lot of our officers are notaries, but, on the other 

hand, it is something that just, you know, people look at and they 

go, oh, dear, how do I do that? It is a little discouraging. I want 

to be sure I can find the right person, especially overseas, of course, 

that is what our concerns are. So what do you think we could possibly do about that? 

And, in your opinion, is there any real benefit to this notary signature? One of the statements within the law is that it is not required that they have that, and many election officials tell us they 

don’t look at it anyway, but it is still a requirement. Is it helpful 

and what role does it play? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, the issue of the notary was an issue that we 

have been hearing about in the course of our post-election outreach; 

and, again, the report from the Overseas Vote Foundation noted 

the confusion that you have identified in your question. My recollection of the MOVE Act, which I think is embodied in your question, was that it eliminated the requirement. And so, you know, 

one of the steps moving forward—— 

Mrs. DAVIS. The problem is that they don’t know that. 

Mr. PEREZ. Right. One of the steps moving forward is to, you 

know, figure out how we can communicate that and what additional measures consistent, perhaps, with Congressman Brady’s 

carrot-and-stick framework can be put in place to make sure that 

States appreciate that Congress really meant it when it said that 

it was eliminating that requirement. Because that is noted in the 

report of the foundation as a continuing barrier, notwithstanding 

the very express intent of Congress. 

Mrs. DAVIS. I wonder if you would feel free to comment on does 

it provide—does that notary signature provide any more security? 

What is your experience with this? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, I think that Congress has made the judgment 

that it doesn’t; and certainly there are other provisions that we 

have in force where people have been able to through attestation, 

exercise the right to vote. 

And so there are other contexts in which that, attestation, I am 

who I am has proven sufficient; and the evidence base, I think, 

suggests that that sort of attestation provision has not led to the 

concerns of fraud that underlie those who might want a notary. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you. I appreciate that. 

Are there any other areas that you have come across that you 

think perhaps the committee should be exploring, again within the 

bounds of the Constitution, that would make this easier so that we 

don’t have such a lack of uniformity, I guess, throughout this process? 

Mr. PEREZ. Well, we are—I mean, it is the challenge—and, again, 

I spoke with the Secretaries of State last Friday, four or 5 days 

ago, and I heard a similar comment that many of you have noted 

which is that, yes, we understand we are accountable under the 

MOVE Act, but you need to understand that we have hundreds of 

jurisdictions doing this, and that is our system. So part of what we 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

220 

are looking to do a better job of is to learn about how we can better 

coordinate under those parameters. 

And this is not an issue that is limited to the MOVE Act. It is 

an issue that is also in play in the motor voter context. Because 

States are accountable for the effective implementation of motor 

voter, but I often hear feedback from States that, hey, you have got 

to go talk to that county election—not the election official but the 

DMV or the social service agency. 

So I think this is part of a broad conversation about how we can 

best ensure coordination between the States on the one hand and 

the local election officials with whom they work, which is why we 

have been reaching out to all of the stakeholders. Because I recognize that speaking to Secretaries of State and only Secretaries of 

State is insufficient. Speaking to local election officials and only 

local election officials is similarly insufficient. We need to bring everyone together. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you. 

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. 

Mr. Perez, I would just say, for those who may be listening in 

and have not seen this issue or really studied this issue before, 

elections are held at the local level. We have local elected officials 

that have a great responsibility. We are not coming in without 

proper constitutional authority. We are talking about Federal elections, and we are talking about our American military having an 

opportunity to be able to vote. 

So I hope anybody is disabused of the notion that we don’t understand the proper role of local governments in here. But we have an 

obligation to make sure that our military people and others overseas—but I am specifically focusing on our military—have a right 

to vote and to have that vote counted and that when we exercise 

proper constitutional jurisdiction we expect that to be carried out. 

I think you have helped us with some suggestions of maybe 

where we have to make further inquiry as to how we can improve 

this bill. As you have heard, there are some questions that may be 

submitted to you in writing, and we would ask that you respond 

to those in a timely fashion. 

With that, I thank you. 

Mr. PEREZ. I certainly will. 

Mr. Chairman, I did have an answer to Congressman Nugent’s 

question. He asked about the hardship. 

The CHAIRMAN. Yes. 

Mr. PEREZ. And my staff was able to confirm that that actually 

is the responsibility of FVAP over at DOD. And I don’t believe that 

any regs have been issued, and I will—I think they issued guidance 

on that issue, but I will confirm that. 

But I wasn’t sure of the answer to your question, but I have been 

able to confirm that. 

Mr. NUGENT. Thank you. 

The CHAIRMAN. So the chairman of the appropriate committee on 

Armed Services will probably hold hearings on that, and maybe he 

will let us sit in on those. 

Mr. PEREZ. Thank you for your time, and thank you for your 

courtesy. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

Mr. WILSON. Absolutely. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. 

Now I would like to welcome our second panel of witnesses for 

their important testimony. 

As I said earlier, all of our witnesses possess valuable, real-world 

experience, knowledge that we desperately need as we seek to 

marry real-world circumstances and technology with our unwavering commitment to enfranchise our overseas servicemembers and/ 

or American citizens, and it will be interesting to receive the benefit of their testimony with their different areas of expertise and 

perspectives. 

The Honorable Natalie Tennant is the 29th Secretary of State of 

West Virginia. She is active in the National Association of Secretaries of State and is currently co-chair of the Voter Participation 

Committee. 

Mr. J. Bradley King is the co-director within the Indiana Secretary of State’s office of the Indiana Election Division, the State 

agency which assists voters, poll workers, and local election officials throughout the State of Indiana. 

Mr. David Stafford is the Supervisor of Elections from Excambia 

County, Florida. He was elected as supervisor in 2004 and re-elected in 2008. He is a certified elections and registration administrator, a member and president-elect of the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, and a member of the National Association of Election Officials. 

Mr. Richard Jones is the co-chair of the Alliance for Military and 

Overseas Voting Rights. He served more than two decades on Capitol Hill, focusing on veterans’ affairs issues and worked for American Veterans before joining the Alliance for Military and Overseas 

Voting Rights. 

Eric Eversole is the founder and executive director of the Military Voter Protection Project. He is a U.S. Navy JAG officer, who 

served on active duty from 1999 to 2001, currently and continues 

to serve as a commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve. As a civilian 

attorney, he worked in the voting section of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and has been a tireless advocate 

for military voters. 

I thank each of you for being here and for your respective service. I know that you will agree with me and the other members of 

the panel in affirming the necessity and importance of the MOVE 

Act, and I look forward to hearing how effective it was in the 2010 

elections from your perspective and how it can be made even more 

effective in the future. 

As I noted with Mr. Perez in the first panel, the committee has 

received written testimony from each of you. At the appropriate 

time, I will recognize each of you for 5 minutes to present a summary of that submission. 

To help you keep the time, we have a timing device near the witness table. The device will emit a green light for 4 minutes and will 

turn yellow when 1 minute remains; and when the light turns red, 

that means your time has expired. We are not quite as bad as they 

are over at the Supreme Court where, when I argued my one case 

over there, I was instructed that when that red light goes on, unless you are answering a question posed to you by a member of the

STATEMENTS OF THE HONORABLE NATALIE E. TENNANT, SECRETARY OF STATE, WEST VIRGINIA; J. BRADLEY KING, CODIRECTOR, ELECTION DIVISION, INDIANA SECRETARY OF 

STATE; DAVID STAFFORD, SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS,

STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE NATALIE E. TENNANT 

Ms. TENNANT. Thank you. Thank you, Chairman Lungren and 

Ranking Member Brady and the members of the Committee on 

House Administration for inviting me to testify at today’s hearing 

on Military and Overseas Voting: Effectiveness of the MOVE Act 

in the 2010 Election. 

My name is Natalie Tennant. I am the West Virginia Secretary 

of State, and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to you 

today about our experience in West Virginia related to the implementation of the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act, 

known as MOVE, that we have been talking about. This topic is 

of great importance to election administrators, to our uniformed 

servicemembers, their spouses and dependents and to the United 

States citizens living and working around the world. 

This subject is especially very special for me and personal to me 

as well, because I am the spouse of a United States service member 

scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan in just a few months. My 

husband, Erik, will be leaving on April 8, and we have a special 

election coming up on May 14. And before he gets to Afghanistan, 

he has several different stops in between. And so, of course, this 

is of special importance. 

And we, the people of West Virginia, are also very proud because 

we have a high number of citizens per capita who serve in the military and serve our country as well who come from West Virginia. 

My written testimony today includes additional details regarding 

the implementation of the MOVE Act in West Virginia. But in 

summary for you here today, in order to comply with the provisions 

of the Act, we needed to develop new legislation, revise procedures, 

and adopt technical solutions. 

We first reviewed the four key components of the UOCAVA voter 

experience—I know that you have been hearing that word a lot, 

UOCAVA, and it actually stands for Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act of 1986—I am sure you all are aware 

of—and those four experiences, though, voter registration, absentee 

ballot application, blank ballot transmission, and voted ballot return. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

223 

We adopted several legislative solutions, including moving our 

ballot transmission date to 46 days instead of the 45 days before 

the election, changing write-in candidate filing deadlines to 49 days 

before the election, and requiring all counties to provide electronic 

blank ballot transmission, among other moves. 

Operationally, we required very few changes—we were required 

of very few changes to assure that we fully complied with the first 

two voting components, and that was voter registration and absentee ballot application. Well, then we focused our efforts on the final 

two, blank ballot transmission and voted ballot return. 

We conducted two side-by-side pilot programs which, in addition 

to traditional absentee voting methods, allowed us to conduct a 

comprehensive analysis of absentee voting methods available to our 

UOCAVA voters. And we in West Virginia initiated a limited pilot 

in eight counties that tested the effectiveness of online ballot marking and return. This was the first pilot of its scope in the Nation, 

and we are very proud that we led the country in that. 

So a separate pilot was conducted in conjunction with the U.S. 

Federal Voting Assistance Program, which is known as FVAP that 

you hear us talking about, which did indeed focus on the blank absentee ballot electronic delivery that you all have talked about 

today. And the State worked with three industry leaders on these 

projects, each of whom adhered to rigorous standards promulgated 

by the State and who submitted their systems to the user acceptance testing and logic and accuracy testing before the systems were 

made available to the voters. 

Through concerted and cooperative efforts by local county clerks 

and their staff, our vendors and Federal agency partners and the 

staff in my office, West Virginia met all requirements of the MOVE 

Act. The conduct of the two pilots allowed the State to test for functional effectiveness to determine true environmental and logistical 

obstacles and to add appreciably to the national dialogue on electronic voting options and their feasibility. 

Because of our relative population size and the number of voters 

covered by UOCAVA and our willingness and ability to innovate, 

West Virginia provides an optimal environment to explore additional methods for absentee military and overseas voters to receive 

and cast a ballot. I truly believe that we achieved a high level of 

success with our efforts. We received positive voter feedback and 

experienced a significant increase in UOCAVA voter successful vote 

attempts. 

We stand ready to work with all stakeholders to ensure that the 

foundation of our democracy, the right to a meaningful opportunity 

to cast a ballot, is afforded to all voters. We consider this to be our 

solemn obligation, and we continue to explore secure voting options 

through the use of technology and the adoption of the best practices and will remain committed to providing the best possible service to those who serve our country. 

Chairman and Ranking Member, thank you for allowing me to 

be here.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much, Madam Secretary. 

Now, Mr. King. 

STATEMENT OF J. BRADLEY KING 

Mr. KING. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, committee members. My 

name is Brad King. I am the co-director of the Indiana Election Division. I would like to take a few moments to discuss Indiana’s success and difficulties with the implementation of MOVE for the November, 2010, general election. 

Even before MOVE was enacted, Indiana had taken legislative 

steps to increase the participation of military and overseas voters, 

including extended voter registration deadlines, the use of fax and 

e-mail for the transmission and receipt of ballots in some cases, 

and the extended deadline after the election to receive ballots. 

When MOVE was enacted in 2009, Indiana acted promptly to implement State legislation that became effective on July 1 of 2010, 

after unanimous bipartisan support in both Houses of our State 

legislature. As a result, no waiver or extension of MOVE’s deadlines was requested by Indiana. 

We immediately began working with our local election officials, 

in Indiana’s case the circuit court clerks, to provide them with information about their requirements and responsibilities under 

MOVE, made a point to mention that any time two or more clerks 

were gathered together in conferences or meetings, in publications, 

Web training, any form that we could imagine. 

The county election administrators embraced the opportunity to 

better serve military and overseas voters by transmitting ballots by 

e-mail or by fax, but the 45-day absentee ballot transmittal deadline proved a problem for just a few counties. 

In 2010, the 45-day deadline fell on September 18. Shortly before 

that date, the U.S. Department of Justice contacted the Indiana 

Election Division for information regarding county compliance with 

that deadline. We determined that 89 of Indiana’s 92 counties had 

complied at that point with the 45-day transmittal law. Two small 

rural counties had not complied and had mailed approximately 

seven ballots a couple of days late. 

St. Joseph County’s situation was a bit more serious. St. Joseph 

County is one of our largest counties in population. It is where the 

City of South Bend and the University of Notre Dame is located, 

and so we anticipated a fair number of votes, civilian and military 

overseas ballots, coming from that county. We were advised that 

the absentee ballots had not been transmitted by September 18 by 

the county because they had not been delivered to the county by 

the ballot printing vendor. 

Ultimately, these ballots were mailed as late as September 28, 

meaning 10 days after the 45-day deadline. According to the St. Joseph County Clerk, the number of ballots delayed was not large. 

There were 47 that were requested; and, according to the Clerk, all 

of these ballots were returned to the county by October 14. So, as 

a result, there is no evidence that any military or overseas voters 

were, in fact, disfranchised by the ability of the county to transmit 

those ballots by the 45-day deadline, but it does raise some troubling issues. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

230 

When the failure of the ballots to be delivered was reported to 

the Election Division, I contacted the vendor and was advised that 

the county could have its ballots tomorrow if it wanted them; and 

I advised the vendor that, yes, the county did want them and that 

we wanted the county to have them. And so the vendor then 

worked to provide ballot proofs so that e-mails could be sent out 

to individuals who had requested their ballots in that format and 

paper ballots provided as soon as possible. Although, as I said, it 

did take 10 days after the deadline for that to be accomplished. 

It was also difficult to identify specific county employees who 

were responsible for the administration of MOVE’s requirements, 

and that delayed county progress in compliance with the statute. 

I should note that the county did take the matter seriously when 

it was brought to their attention and used Express Mail to send out 

ballots to those who had requested them in that fashion. 

Some lessons learned from the implementation of MOVE in Indiana in November, 2010, would include recognizing the important 

role that vendors play in the administration of elections. In many 

counties in the United States the technical complexity of election 

equipment requires county officials to rely on vendors to prepare 

both the electronic versions of the ballots and the paper absentee 

ballot system. It appears in the case of St. Joseph County there 

was a disconnect. We can’t assume that vendors are going to be informed by their customers regarding the requirements of Federal 

law. 

Secondly, we need to continue to work with the local election officials to make certain that there is a continuing institutional knowledge regarding MOVE. We have turnover in those offices, and a 

lesson learned in 2010 may mean nothing to someone who serves 

beginning in 2013. 

Finally, we need to talk to the voters to make sure that military 

and overseas voters have clear expectations about their rights 

under MOVE. If a military voter requests an e-mailed ballot and 

does not receive it by day 44, the military voter should be calling 

the county to ask why the delay. 

There is very little that county election officials are unwilling to 

do for military and overseas voters, but they can do very little if 

they receive a call on election day asking where is my ballot. 

Thank you for the opportunity to address the committee today.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. 

Now Mr. Stafford. 

STATEMENT OF DAVID STAFFORD 

Mr. STAFFORD. Thank you, Chairman Lungren, Ranking Member 

Brady, my fellow Floridian, Congressman Nugent, and members of 

the committee. I appreciate the opportunity to be here today. 

All five branches of the military have a presence in Escambia 

County, Florida. Perhaps we are best known as the ‘‘Cradle of 

Naval Aviation,’’ the home of naval flight training and the storied 

Blue Angels. And while we are celebrating the centennial of naval 

aviation this year, we are also home to the Center for Information 

Dominance, the Navy Hospital Pensacola, and a host of other defense assets and infrastructure. In short, we are a proud military 

community; and we embrace those who serve. 

We are privileged to have nearly 17,000 military and overseas 

citizens and their dependents as active voters; and as the son, 

brother, nephew, cousin, and friend to several current and former 

military voters and as the grandson of a World War I prisoner of 

war, this aspect of my job is very personal. 

Florida has been at the forefront of military and overseas voting 

for decades. In fact, we still operate under a 1982 consent decree 

entered by a United States District Judge, who, ironically, is my 

father. The dispute centered on the 1980 general election in which 

Florida’s election calendar resulted in absentee ballots being 

mailed far too late. 

Ultimately, the State and the Justice Department agreed that 

absentee ballots received from eligible voters would be counted up 

to 10 days beyond the general election; and, again, we are still operating under that consent decree today. 

Both Federal and State law progressed in the subsequent decades. Florida altered its election calendar to provide for more time 

to mail ballots and removed any notary and witness requirements. 

Florida also led in the electronic transmission of materials to overseas voters and permitted those voters to return ballots via facsimile. 

Congress also helped by expanding the use of the Federal WriteIn Absentee Ballot to stateside military voters and by adjusting the 

absentee ballot request line for those FWABs. In 2008, my then colleague from Florida, Pat Hollarn, and her deputy, who is now the 

supervisor there, Paul Lux, successfully conducted the Okaloosa 

Distance Balloting Project, which allowed overseas voters to cast a 

secure ballot via remote kiosk. This all occurred prior to the passage of the MOVE Act. 

As a result, Florida had very little to change to comply with the 

MOVE Act. Among the changes, Florida extended to all elections 

the 45-day mailing deadline, expanded electronic transmission of 

ballots to all absent military voters, implemented a notification and 

free-access tracking system, allowed voters to choose their preferred method of ballot delivery, and reduced from two to one the 

number of election cycles for which absentee ballot requests could 

apply. 

Now this last provision did cause a bit of concern among some 

of my colleagues as some preferred to stay at the two cycle for 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

237 

FPCA and other absentee ballot requests. But there is not uniformity, there is not agreement among my colleagues on that point. 

And one of the disappointments for me personally in 2010 was 

Florida’s decision not to pursue the FVAP grant for the Ballot Delivery and Marking Wizard. I was pleased to learn recently that 

FVAP intends to make those grants available to local election officials like myself, and I fully intend to pursue that. However, their 

online FPCA and the FWAB are also good tools for voters. 

I would also like to compliment the U.S. And military postal 

services for implementing the Express Mail label for returning 

military absentee ballot mail, which was effective for those who 

took advantage. 

Now while ballot delivery has improved significantly, we still rely 

on mail return for the bulk of UOCAVA voters. Although fax return is allowed in Florida, in my opinion it is a dying technology 

and is difficult for many overseas voters to access. Many UOCAVA 

voters don’t understand why they can return a ballot by fax but not 

by secure e-mail. Now we recognize there are valid security concerns, but we have the best and brightest minds in the world here 

in the United States, including many in the ranks of our military 

and civilian government. We can and must figure out a better way 

forward. 

Now, I believe the best path is through pilot projects similar to 

the Okaloosa Distance Balloting project. Through additional FVAP 

grants and similar programs, innovative solutions to some of these 

centuries-old problems can be found; and these can be demonstrated, if necessary, through test elections so any shortcomings 

can be identified outside an actual live election. 

We must also do more to build awareness of the existing tools 

and procedures that help our military and overseas voters. 

Through the use of Web sites, e-mail, social media, and other innovative techniques, much of the information needed can be communicated directly to the voter. FVAP, the Overseas Vote Foundation, 

election officials, and others are already making great strides on 

this front, but more must be done. 

However, the voters share some responsibility themselves for 

keeping us informed of any changes of address or status or familiarizing themselves with procedures in their particular home jurisdiction and for notifying us of any problems before it is too late for 

us to respond. Far too many ballots are returned undeliverable, 

which ultimately cancels their request. And, in addition, as 

UOCAVA voters must now actively request ballots for each election 

cycle, a concerted effort to communicate this to voters is essential. 

Our Web page includes an excerpt from President Truman’s 1952 

letter to Congress imploring Congress on behalf of those in the 

Armed Forces to ‘‘make sure they are able to enjoy the rights they 

are being asked to fight to preserve.’’ 

In closing, I applaud Congress for continuing to address these 

concerns by passing the MOVE Act. I am very proud of Florida’s 

history of serving our military and overseas voters and look forward to continued progress at the Federal, State and local level. 

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Stafford. 

Now Mr. Jones. 

STATEMENT OF RICK JONES 

Mr. JONES. Chairman Lungren, Ranking Member Brady, members of the committee, it is a pleasure to be before so many of the 

champions who have worked so hard to ensure that those who protect us have their vote protected. It is a delight to be here, sir, and 

represent the Alliance for Military and Overseas Voting Rights. 

I am a co-chairman of the Alliance, and a legislative director for 

the National Association for Uniformed Services. 

The Alliance formed in 2009 to advance several principles. 

Among those principles: to provide adequate time for receipt, completion, and return of an absentee ballot; to ensure States work toward a more standardized procedure for registering and allowing 

votes from overseas voters; and to work with Congress and the 

States to expand and accelerate research in pilot projects to find 

technological solutions that would help to secure, make more efficient, and make more convenient the process of voting. The election 

system as well should serve both military voters overseas and civilians who live overseas. 

The Alliance has worked for passage of MOVE, and we are very 

pleased to see it move in the way it has over the past year. 

No piece of legislation is perfect. We firmly believe the MOVE 

Act is a positive measure that has given us a strong advance towards addressing all the principles that we hold as core values. 

As you know, Mr. Chairman, there are several key provisions of 

this bill. 

First of all among these is the acceptance of technology for the 

distribution and delivery of blank ballots and for ballot tracking 

systems to be put in place. 

A second key provision of the MOVE Act is to allow e-mail communication with voters and their home precincts. 

Election transmission of blank ballots 45 days in advance is perhaps the most key. It assures, in large part, that the ballots can 

be secured, completed and returned by those who are overseas and 

involved in sometimes very hazardous work with their attention on 

many other issues. 

The MOVE Act has moved in the right direction. We have already discussed many of the DOJ concerns. DOJ could have moved 

more aggressively in several areas. Their programs and process 

could be improved. But we also know that the Act has only been 

in place for only 1 year, and we hope that we have learned a great 

deal out of the 1 year that we have worked on this, so we are well 

prepared for the Presidential election in 2012. 

One of the main goals of the Alliance is to see States adopt laws 

to facilitate overseas voting and to provide adequate time to receive, complete, and return those ballots. 

As you are familiar, one of our Alliance members, the Overseas 

Vote Foundation, recently held a summit; and during that time 

they released a survey that they had taken on the 2010 election. 

You had mentioned some of these survey results in your opening 

remarks. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

243 

More than four-fifths of voters, 82 percent, received the ballot 

they had requested. Now that is a 5 percent increase over 2008. 

Fewer voters reported receipt of a ballot too late for successful return. Although one-third reported difficulty in 2010, more than half 

reported problems in 2008, so that is also moving in the right direction. All 50 States provided electronic transmission of blank ballots. 

That is up from 20 States in 2008 and demonstrated a direct response to the MOVE Act. 

However, voters using electronic ballot, strangely, were less likely to receive their ballot, it was reported, by this OVF survey. Of 

the 18 percent of voters who did not receive their ballot, nearly 22 

had used the electronic method for their request. 

As the chairman knows, the Federal Voting Assistance Program, 

a Pentagon program which helps manage the election process for 

military personnel and other overseas voters, reported last week 

that they had not yet gathered all the information they need to assess fully the 2010 election. They did, however, point out that one 

of the major failures is in ballot return. For the general public, the 

ballot return on absentee ballots runs at about 90 percent. For Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Act voters, the ballot return falls to about 67 percent. That is quite a drop. 

And one of the things that we herald in the Act is the Express 

Mail delivery of return ballots. Though anecdote is not data, one 

story helps explain how comfort and confidence can be found in the 

use of Express Mail. An absentee voter recently reported that, prior 

to going overseas, he had worked directly with the head registrar 

of the voting precinct and applied for the absentee vote using her 

assistance. When overseas, the voter completed the ballot, returned 

it by Express Mail, tracked the ballot, and the voter was able to 

read confirmation of receipt, and the receipt was signed by the very 

individual he had worked with in applying for the ballot. 

Now, that is a good confidence that the ballot had been returned. 

So the Express Mail is a significant improvement under the MOVE 

Act. 

Sir, the fix remains timely access. As Harry S. Truman said 60 

years ago, it is the least America can do to protect the right to vote 

for those who serve in uniform to protect us. 

Again, we thank you very much for this opportunity to testify.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much for your testimony. 

Mr. Eversole. 

STATEMENT OF ERIC EVERSOLE 

Mr. EVERSOLE. Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. Thank you for allowing me to testify regarding the implementation of the MOVE Act in the 2010 elections. 

As we have heard today, the MOVE Act was a tremendous undertaking for the States and for the local election officials; and one 

thing is clear at this point. A vast, vast majority of the States and 

local election officials did a tremendous job in implementing the 

MOVE Act. They worked long hours to make sure that our 

servicemembers would have a better opportunity to vote, and some 

of the fruits of those efforts are really evident in some of the data 

that is starting to come back from the Election Assistance Commission. 

I took a quick look at the data, and one thing that I noticed very 

clearly from some of the early results is the amount of ballots that 

are rejected for being returned late significantly decreased. In other 

words, more ballots made it back on time and more ballots were 

counted. So that is a big win for our servicemembers. 

There were, however, some significant disappointments during 

the 2010 election; and at the top of the list is the voting section 

in the Department of Justice and its efforts to enforce the implementation of the MOVE Act. 

Now, we have all heard time and again that the voting section 

brought 14 cases or 14 actions in 2010. But that number, without 

any context, doesn’t have a lot of meaning. It is somewhat like a 

football coach that keeps talking about the fact that they scored 14 

points in the big game, but what he doesn’t tell you is the fact that 

there were three or four fumbles that cost them the game. And it 

is those fumbles that we have to get to in order to ensure that we 

have greater success in the 2012 elections that are quickly approaching. 

The fact is, and there is significant evidence of this, the Department of Justice, the voting section, was very slow to react to the 

MOVE Act. 

Mr. Perez talks about the fact that they issued a letter in April 

of 2010. Well, that is 6 months after the MOVE Act was passed; 

and the damage there is the fact that many States had already 

gone through their legislative cycles at that point. So the possibility 

of getting real legislative reform by April of 2010 was significantly 

diminished. 

Another thing that has been talked about was the guidance to 

the States on the waiver procedures. Mr. Perez is correct. FVAP 

has the responsibility to issue those waiver procedures, but with 

the guidance of the Department of Justice, and that guidance never 

came. There are several news reports that indicate that the draft 

guidelines were sent to the Department of Justice, and there never 

was a written response to those guidelines. And the waivers 

weren’t issued, and it had a significant impact on States asking for 

waivers. 

Wisconsin is a classic example. They ended up being sued by the 

Department, but Wisconsin makes it pretty clear they would have 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

253 

never asked for the waiver if they would have had clear guidelines, 

and those guidelines were not issued. 

And even when the Department brought cases, many of these 

cases, like the one in Illinois, were brought 3 or 4 weeks after the 

deadline for mailing out ballots. And, as a result of that, those ballots were sent out 25 days before the election. 

Another important fact there is that there is a substantial body 

of evidence that says that if you mail ballots 25 days before the 

election by First Class mail, a certain percentage of those ballots 

will not make it to the troops on the front lines. 

At the very least, both in New York and Illinois, the Department 

of Justice should have required express delivery. They didn’t. It is 

a failure. It cost votes. 

But aside from the delay issues, there is a more fundamental 

question that is very important that no one has mentioned here 

today, and that is the insufficiency of some of the agreements. I 

have talked about Illinois and New York, but I want to talk about 

Maryland. 

In Maryland, Maryland had applied for a waiver application and 

decided better of it about a month before, or a month before the 

deadline, and called the Department of Justice and inquired whether they could simply send out a Federal-only ballot and deprive the 

servicemembers of their State rights, and the Department of Justice approved that. 

So I don’t—you know, and that is part of the problem here. 

Now, my organization ultimately sued the State of Maryland 

based on the advice that they got from the Department of Justice. 

A Federal district court judge found that the State of Maryland had 

violated their fundamental rights; and that ultimately ensured, via 

the judge’s court order, that 600 military and overseas voters would 

be able to vote but for the actions of our organizations and the Federal court. But certainly they would have been disenfranchised 

based on the Department’s efforts. 

That really gets to really my last point, and one thing I would 

ask the committee to quickly consider, because my time is up. 

Senator Barrasso and Senator Cornyn issued a bill yesterday 

that creates a private right of action so that servicemembers can 

defend their own rights in Federal court. Congress recently passed, 

I think last year, a bill that gave servicemembers expanded rights 

to bring cases in the servicemen—the SSCRA or the Soldiers’ and 

Sailors’ Civil Relief Act, and there has been some very positive—— 

But our servicemembers ought to have the ability to fight for 

their own rights in Federal court and not have to rely upon the Department of Justice to bring those cases. 

Again, thank you for holding this hearing. I look forward to your 

questions.

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. 

We will now go to our round of questioning. I will start with 5 

minutes. 

First of all, I want to thank those of you representing West Virginia and Indiana and Florida. It appears, from what I have heard 

read and what you have said, that an excellent effort was made in 

those States to comply with the law. It looks to me like we are 

going to have to have a follow-up hearing on representatives from 

New York and Illinois to tell us why it was so difficult. 

The major sponsor of the bill on the Senate side is Senator Schumer from New York. I find it—well, I find it difficult to believe that 

the people in New York would not have understood that that was 

something—and I have known Chuck Schumer for a long time, and 

I have never known the press unable to find him to be able to hear 

what he has to say. I am just surprised that election officials there 

had such difficulty. 

Let me ask you, Mr. King, I actually went to school at Notre 

Dame in St. Joseph County, so I am surprised that that was the 

county that seemed to have difficulty, and you had to use a very 

sophisticated means of communication, called the telephone, to talk 

to the vendor. 

I mean, what happened there? Someone just asleep at the 

switch? What occurred? 

Mr. KING. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

It is puzzling because St. Joseph County has a large professional, 

local election staff. It is clear that whether this was the result of 

using a vendor, perhaps, for the first general election, there had 

been a change in the ballot printing vendor used. But it was clear, 

I think, that there was confusion and ambiguity at both the county 

election office and with the vendor regarding the importance of 

MOVE and the importance of deadlines. We, in the election administration world, live and die according to deadlines. 

The CHAIRMAN. Would they pay attention to it if individual members of the Armed Forces had the private right of action? 

Mr. KING. Yes, I believe they certainly would. 

The CHAIRMAN. Does anybody object to that here? 

Mr. Eversole, you have a bit of a contrary position here to that 

of Mr. Perez, who has told us that they made it a priority in his 

section. They had 20 litigators, I believe, assigned to this. He 

talked about how they had contacted jurisdictions when they knew 

there was a problem or thought there may be a problem. 

Do you find that lacking or was there lacking in follow-up after 

initial contact? What I mean by that is you can make initial contact—well, excuse me. He did say that they would take in information they received from others to sort of follow up or verify what 

they had heard from local election officials. Do you find that to be 

the case or what more could he have done or they should have 

done? 

Mr. EVERSOLE. Well, I think that one of the issues here is the 

way they approach investigations which, quite frankly, is different 

than any other way that they approach other voting rights investigations. 

In most cases, you call the county to find out if they have complied with the law, because the county is the one that is responebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

262 

sible for it. They certainly do that in language minority cases. And 

so in the context of voting cases, the general procedure, unless— 

and Mr. Perez’s testimony, I think, was pretty clear on this, that 

they contacted the counties on occasion when they got advice that 

a particular county had violated the MOVE Act. 

But their other investigative technique, when they didn’t get a 

specific complaint, was to simply call the State. And the result of 

this kind of contacting the State, who then has to contact the counties, that is a roundabout way of getting the information that you 

ultimately need and that delays a timely resolution of it. 

The Department of Justice has now been burned on this a couple 

of times. In 2010, they were burned on it by Illinois. There are 

plenty of e-mails saying that the Department of Justice contacted 

the State. The State said we are good to go. It never happened. The 

same thing, though, happened to the Department of Justice in 2008 

in the Virginia case, which it didn’t discover until 3 days before the 

election and after Senator McCain or the McCain campaign had 

brought the lawsuit. 

So there is a failure there. It has to be improved. They have to 

call the counties. 

The CHAIRMAN. Maybe we need to specify that in the legislative 

language, and maybe we need to take a look at that. 

Mr. Jones, in your written testimony you say, one out of every 

four ballots requested by military personnel and other Americans 

living overseas for the 2008 election may have gone uncounted, according to findings being released to a Senate hearing Wednesday. 

Can you elaborate on these findings? 

Mr. JONES. The findings refer to 2008 which was a part of the 

basis of your action and the actions of your fellow members to pursue the MOVE Act. 

We don’t have an accurate count at the present as to how many 

people who requested a ballot—we don’t have the ratio now, but we 

do know that perhaps as many as 370,000 military voters did not 

have a ballot returned. 

I spoke of the 67 percent failure of ballot return. We don’t know 

exactly the reason for that. It could be anything. I mean, for example, Eisenhower didn’t make his first vote until he was running for 

President. So there may be a culture still within the military of attending to military items and not necessarily taking election action. 

They might have requested a ballot and not returned it. 

But we really don’t know exactly what the problem is there, but 

we do know the MOVE Act has taken us in the right direction. It 

does offer a better door opening, and it does offer a better opportunity to pass through that opening so these folks can have a ballot 

counted if they choose to vote. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. My time has expired. 

The ranking member is recognized. 

Mr. BRADY. Yes, Mr. Chairman, thank you. 

What I am confused about, Madam Secretary, how many counties are in West Virginia? 

Ms. TENNANT. There are 55 counties in West Virginia. 

Mr. BRADY. Mr. King, how many in Indiana? 

Mr. KING. There are 92 counties, sir. 

Mr. BRADY. Mr. Stafford, in Florida? 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

263 

Mr. STAFFORD. Sixty-seven. 

Mr. BRADY. I would bet that my math isn’t good at all, but we 

will say 250, close to it, what you just gave me. That means like 

just in the three States that are here today there are three different kinds of pieces of literature going out to our servicemen and 

women that look different, would not actually have different names 

on them, but, you know, different vendors have put out ballots in 

different ways. 

So that itself probably confuses them because—Madam Secretary, your husband will be over there, and I hope, God bless him, 

he gets back safely, but he will be next to somebody else that will 

be comparing each other’s notes and about ballots. That confusion 

is hard enough to deal with, but my problem is the timing. 

I understand the back end. I understand it doesn’t do any good 

to vote for somebody before an election was certified. It is too late. 

But the front end, why 45 days? I know when my election is, I 

know when my primary is, and I know before my primary when 

my general election is, and that is way before 45 days. Why are we 

not holding our men and women that are supporting us and put 

in harm’s way to the same standard that we hold our regular citizens? I don’t think they are regular citizens. I think that they have 

a kind of special, you know, consideration we need to give them. 

But why the 45 days? I noted I have an election primary in May, 

but I also know November 8 is my general election. That is 6 

months. That is not 45 days. Why can’t we work something between the 6-month period to be able to ensure that they get these 

ballots and give them more time to get them back to us? Is there 

any reason why that—yes, sir. 

Mr. STAFFORD. Two reasons, speaking on behalf of Florida. One, 

you have got qualifying that occurs. You have to know who is actually on the ballot before you can send the ballot to those voters. 

Mr. BRADY. I know that is 6 months before a general election. 

Mr. STAFFORD. It depends from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, from 

State to State. 

Mr. BRADY. I understand some primaries are shorter. 

Mr. STAFFORD. Correct. And then you have—after the primary 

election, you have to then redo your ballot to prepare your ballot 

for the general election. Because, obviously, you are not going know 

who your Senate—your Republican Senate candidate and Democratic Senate candidate is until after the primary election. So that 

takes time. Once the election is certified, then ballot preparation 

begins all over again. 

Mr. BRADY. When is Florida’s primary? 

Mr. STAFFORD. It is the end of August. I don’t have the specific 

date in front of me. 

Mr. BRADY. August and your general is in November. 

Mr. STAFFORD. Yes, sir. 

Mr. BRADY. So 45 days actually takes you right up to the deadline, almost? 

Mr. STAFFORD. We actually had to go in and they adjusted the 

primary back a week to provide for more time for us to—— 

Mr. BRADY. Is this the waiver you would need? 

Mr. STAFFORD. No, sir, this was done prior—— 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

264 

Mr. BRADY. And there are other States I am sure that fall into 

that category, but the ones that don’t—I am confused—I am not 

confused. I am stuck on this 45 days. Why is this just 45 days 

when the State of Pennsylvania—I know 6 months, 6 times 3, 180 

days, that, you know, I know who our people are. Why couldn’t we 

get it to our military people? 

Ms. TENNANT. If I—— 

Mr. BRADY. I mean, if we know and States that do know, why 

don’t we mandate that they get it to them so at least you have 

some—I don’t know how many throughout the country are that 

closed in on primaries as opposed to going to generals. I know some 

are not. I know New York is. I know a lot of them are. 

Yes, I am sorry. You were going to say something. 

Ms. TENNANT. Well, if I may add to the conversation, because 

there are deadlines and requirements that lead up to an election 

for a vendor to be able to print the ballots or program the ballots, 

also. 

In West Virginia, we have an August 1 deadline because we also 

have independents that we have to allow access to the ballot. As 

chief elections officer, that is a priority for me in allowing others 

to get on the ballot. And they have until August 1 to be able to get 

enough signatures to have access to the ballot. So that is one requirement. 

We in West Virginia also made it 46 days instead of 45 days. 

And if you are asking for suggestions on the MOVE Act, you might 

want to move it to 46 days because 45 days before a Tuesday election is a Saturday. According to West Virginia State code, if something happens on a Saturday and is moved to a Monday, so that 

is why we moved it to 46 days to have a Friday as the deadline. 

So it is a work in process, and it is part of the regulation and 

deadlines and timelines that we have. 

Mr. BRADY. Okay. So to ask all of you—and I won’t get an answer. I think my time will probably run out. But if you can get 

back to me. What could we do? I would like to know what you 

think you could do to make this process work, because I am offended that our men and women can’t or don’t have the right or 

don’t have the ability to have the right to vote. 

And what can we do in legislation? And we have a chairman that 

is ready and willing and able to put whatever he needs to put in 

legislation and argue that point, and I am happy to agree with 

him. What can we do to give it any kind of teeth to make this absolutely work for our men and women that are in harm’s way? 

My time is up, but if you can get back to me with that on both 

of them and let me know what your ideas would be, I would appreciate that. Thank you and thank you for your time here today. 

The CHAIRMAN. Again, if you could submit some responses to 

that in addition to your testimony, we would certainly appreciate 

it. There may be other members that will submit specific written 

questions to you, and we would ask that you respond to that in a 

timely fashion as well. 

[The information follows:] 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Florida. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

265 

Mr. NUGENT. Ms. Tennant, thank you so much for the service of 

your husband. I certainly know what it is like to have a family 

member deployed. 

In regards to online voting, could you explain that a little more 

in regards to how you were able to keep the security level up? Because, obviously, the District of Columbia had a debacle in regards 

to online voting. 

Ms. TENNANT. We get that question a lot now, especially with 

what happened in D.C. 

The difference that we had, we used two well-known vendors, 

Seytl USA. And Everyone Counts, Incorporated who do online voting. 

The difference between West Virginia’s pilot program that we 

used for our primary election, a special election that we ended up 

having, and then for our general election was different than the 

D.C. Board of Ethics and Elections because they did an in-house 

program that they developed in house, and they used open source 

technology, and then on the day of their public testing they allowed 

folks to take a look at it and request credentials to enter into the 

system and test that. 

So theirs was open source. They opened it up to the public, 

where we kept it secure, obviously, and, you know, continued to secure it through encryption methods similar to what the military 

might use, through unique personal identifiers, through the one-onone relationship that the voter had with the county clerk and able 

to use the passwords, the encryption, the personal identifier and 

those means to have ours secure and still remind folks that it is 

a felony to attempt to interfere with an election. 

Mr. NUGENT. I would hope, at least on our military that is currently overseas and particularly those that are like in Afghanistan 

or Iraq—you know, my son would go out on missions 15 days at 

a crack. You don’t have access. And so, obviously, if we could do 

online voting just for our military, through DOD, that would be a 

huge—I would think a huge step in the right direction of getting 

back a vote so it is there on time, so it actually counts. 

You know, Mr. Eversole, I appreciate your comments, particularly as it relates to the Attorney General’s office, Mr. Perez. I felt 

that the answer I got as it related to the regulation was somewhat 

misleading; and so I would like you to expand upon that particular 

issue, particularly with regard to DOD requesting guidance from 

DOJ and not getting it. 

Mr. EVERSOLE. You know, all I can tell you is, because I obviously wasn’t in the room, but numerous stories have been published and in the papers about some of the difficulties that DOD 

had with receiving timely guidance from the Department of Justice 

and, in particular, the voting section. 

In fact, notwithstanding what Mr. Perez said back in February, 

some of his career attorneys spoke at the National Association of 

Secretaries of States meeting. They specifically told the States that 

they were in the process of issuing guidance that never came, and 

there is a public record of this in the minutes that is very telling. 

But one of the other things that was very disconcerting, because 

it set the tone, in my view, on compliance, was that the voting section career attorney specifically got up after the director of the Fedebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

266 

eral Voting Assistance Program and disagreed publicly with his 

analysis of the law. 

So, from the very get-go, you have the Department of Justice providing input in a public setting that, quite frankly, is contradictory 

or at least not the whole context that Mr. Perez spoke about during 

his testimony. And that discussion, in my view, at the National Association of Secretaries of State, 4 months after the law was issued, 

where they still hadn’t agreed, set the tone for enforcement 

throughout the rest of the 2010 elections. 

Mr. NUGENT. My concern at this point is as it relates to redistricting, what is going to happen in the 2012 election. I would open 

that up to any person. 

And, Mr. Stafford from Florida, I certainly appreciate it. My son 

did Ranger training in the swamp portion. He had great, comments 

about the swamp in Eglin Air Force Base. 

Mr. STAFFORD. Over at Eglin. 

Mr. NUGENT. Yes. 

Mr. STAFFORD. You know, it is funny you just mentioned that. I 

was just thinking about that very—where the Justice Department 

again will play a very important role, particularly in States like 

Florida where we are—we are not a pre-clearance State, but since 

we have pre-clearance counties we are, in essence, a pre-clearance 

State. So the Justice Department will be involved in that aspect. 

And there is a great concern, I can tell you, among the State legislature there that ultimately our districts are going to end up— 

congressional districts are going to end up in the Federal court system and that is ultimately going to, you know, be the final arbiter 

of what the districts look like. And that process takes a tremendous 

amount of time. So that, as far as calendar, Congressman Brady, 

can throw everything into the mix. 

And then you are relying on Federal write-in absentee ballots, 

things along those lines. So that something is that definitely I 

would think would be on the committee’s radar screen looking forward. 

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman’s time has expired. 

The gentlewoman from California. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Thank you. Mr. Chairman. 

I wanted to cycle back on the Internet voting issue, because I 

come from Silicon Valley. I am, you know, into technology, but I 

also understand the risk at times, and the fact that a proprietary 

system is used, instead of open source, really has nothing to do 

with the security issue. 

I would like to ask unanimous consent to put in the record a report that I received when I chaired the Election Subcommittee from 

voter action that reviews some of the technology issues on Internet 

voting. 

Specifically, the Department of Defense 6 years ago commissioned themselves, a panel of experts, to review this possibility. Obviously, they want the troops to be able to vote; and they determined that it was not possible to secure the privacy, the security, 

or the accuracy of votes over the Internet. And it is not the software; it is the architecture of the Internet that they fingered. 

The Government Accountability Office in 2007 did a study and 

found that Internet voting is most vulnerable—this is a quote—to 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

267 

privacy and security compromises and that available safeguards 

may not adequately reduce the risk of compromise. 

And then, in 2008, NIST, which is the gold standard in the Federal Government for technology analysis, found that the technology 

that is widely deployed today is not able to mitigate many of the 

threats to casting ballots on the Web. 

And then, in 2008, 30 leading computer science experts and professors at major universities signed a statement asserting that 

until serious, potentially insurmountable technology challenges are 

overcome, permitting the Internet to be used for public elections is 

an extraordinary and unnecessary risk to democracy. 

Ms. LOFGREN. So this is pretty serious stuff that they have 

talked about. 

Now, I would hope—you know, the District of Columbia was 

going to do an internet voting, and I think they are glad that they 

asked a Web team to come in. Because when they had the University of Michigan computer science team come in, they were able to 

get into their system within 36 hours and change votes. I mean, 

it was an experiment; they didn’t actually affect the election, but 

they were able to change votes and to change the whole system. So 

this is really not something that is ready for prime time. 

And I would hope that any jurisdiction that is using Internet voting brings in some Web teams to hack your system, because the 

last thing we can afford as a Nation is suspicion that the system 

itself is not yielding actual results. I just think to undercut the confidence that Americans have in the integrity of the system would 

be devastating. So that is me on my high horse. 

The CHAIRMAN. Without objection. 

Ms. LOFGREN. And I will submit this for the record. 

[The information follows:] 

Ms. LOFGREN. I wanted to ask Mr. Jones a question. 

I was interested in your testimony about the, referring to the 

UOCAVA survey report where voters who use electronic methods 

to request the ballot were actually less likely to receive a ballot. Do 

we have any idea why that would be the case? 

Mr. JONES. Unfortunately, we don’t. But that was a result of the 

survey that was put out by OVF, which is one of our partner organizations in the Alliance. In looking at the detail of that survey, all 

we have essentially is the number of people surveyed, the scientific 

portion of it, whether or not it has some science to it. And it seems 

to check out on all those sorts of regards. But this is just one of 

those surprising elements that came out in that survey. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Well, I am just wondering if maybe after the hearing, I know my time is almost expired, if any of the witnesses have 

thoughts on how we could improve that. Because I really do believe 

that using technology, at least to get the ballot out there, is going 

to end up being a very important element to getting timely information and access to our servicemen and women. But this is a very 

disturbing finding. 

Mr. JONES. Some of the other things that may help is that the 

registration will be a single cycle registration for voting in the future. And some of these registrants had registered two cycles before 

so there may be a lot of movement. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

Ms. LOFGREN. We were working on an Internet registration bill 

with the secretaries of state and registrars and voters to try and 

facilitate, obviously for everybody, but that would be particularly 

important for servicemen and women who might not have registered before they left. So maybe that is also a part that we could 

look at. 

Mr. JONES. I couldn’t agree with you more about the pilot 

projects for live voting. I mean, the Food and Drug Administration 

won’t allow experiments on humans until they have been proven to 

have worked on some other area. So these pilot projects ought to 

be worked on other than real elections. 

Ms. LOFGREN. Well, I think so. And I will just close, Mr. Chairman. Google is in my county, and they have some of the smartest 

technology people and scientists and computer scientists I have 

ever run into with strong encryption, and they were unhappy that 

their system was hacked. And they made some corrections subsequent to that. Technology is a wonderful thing, but we need to also 

understand our vulnerabilities. 

And I yield back, Mr. Chairman. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. 

And I hope the members of the panel understand that in addition 

to the testimony that you have submitted, we are eager tor hear 

any other suggestions you might have that will help us in our pursuit of perfecting this law. 

The gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes. 

Mr. WILSON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

And Ms. Tennant, I want to thank you for your husband’s service. I share your appreciation of persons in the military service, as 

a veteran with four sons who are currently serving in the military, 

three who served in the Middle East. Thank you. 

And then I share the concern of Congressman Nugent. There are 

concerns about delay next year with redistricting. I—for our election commissioners—I have absolute faith with oversight by the 

chairman, but we are going to monitor redistricting. You have new 

lines; Federal, county, municipal, one man/one vote. You have the 

potential for split counties, split precincts, total chaos, new voter 

registration cards, litigation, and so there is going to have to be a 

lot of planning, and so I wish you well. But we know that is coming 

and so we need to be prepared so that that is not a reason for delay 

of getting ballots out. 

I want to thank Mr. Jones for being here and the military alliance, or the Alliance for Military Voting. The National Association 

for Uniformed Services has been a champion for military families 

and servicemembers and veterans. With that, Mr. Jones, you indicated that 370,000 ballots possibly were not returned. Do you have 

remedies that could assist on this? 

Mr. JONES. We are working with the Federal Voting Assistance 

Program. The director is also very concerned about this area, as 

are all of the members here. We do want that corrected. We don’t 

quite understand the failures there, particularly as compared to 

the general public in absentee balloting. We will be looking into it, 

sir. 

Mr. WILSON. Well, again, we can count on your organization. We 

appreciate it. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

269 

And Mr. Eversole, the information you brought is really disturbing—that the guidelines were not provided with the Federal 

Voting Assistance Program waiver delays. You identified Wisconsin 

and Maryland. And thank you for bringing the lawsuit successfully 

in Maryland. That was just so important. But in particular, other 

States, Illinois, New York, what was the problem in those two 

States? 

Mr. EVERSOLE. Well, in Illinois, they essentially gave the counties a pass, because in the 57 counties that followed the law, the 

military voters in those counties received 59 days to receive and return their ballots. They got 45 days up front under Federal law, 

and they got an additional 14 days after the election to have those 

ballots returned. The Department of Justice used that 14-day State 

law as an excuse for the counties that didn’t send out the ballots 

in a timely manner and basically said, well, yeah, they didn’t send 

it out in a timely manner, so they sent it out 10 days late, but we 

will just eat up 10 days of this State law so that you only get 50 

days to receive and return your ballot. 

So, again, there is an equal protection issue there because some 

servicemembers in some counties are getting 59 days; in other 

places in the same State, as a direct result of the local election official’s unwillingness to follow the law, those servicemembers got 

substantially less. And you know, from a practical perspective in Illinois, what kind of message does it send if the local election official 

willingly violates the law and there is no real remedy for the 

servicemembers? 

I think Mr. Brady was talking about the carrot and the stick. 

There was neither a carrot nor a stick in that context; they simply 

got a pass. 

In New York, the biggest problem there was the fact that New 

York in many instances sent out ballots somewhere between 28 

and 22 days before the election. As I tried to mention in my testimony, there is pretty well established evidence that it takes at 

least 30 days for a ballot to make it to a forward operating location. 

And in fact, the Military Postal Service Agency director testified at 

the Overseas Vote Foundation conference, and he said that to get 

to some ships using express mail delivery, it was taking more than 

20 days. And so in a situation like New York and in Illinois, they 

should have required express delivery, especially if the person is located in an overseas location and serving this country in a war 

zone, and that didn’t happen. 

Mr. WILSON. And you indicated equal protection and also 

prioritization. Congressman Schock brought to our attention that 

the ballots were personally delivered to the Cook County jail but 

were not provided to our military servicemen. 

Mr. Jones—— 

Mr. JONES. My one comment, we had heard anecdotally that one 

of the concerns in New York—of course, Mayor Bloomberg was very 

upset with the process there. But one of the questions was, do we 

comply with the law, the MOVE Act, or do we save money by not 

issuing the ballot in a timely fashion? So there is a complianceversus-cost issue in some of these late counties. 

Mr. WILSON. Thank you again. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

270 

And I look forward to working with the chairman in regard to 

possibly a private action. 

The CHAIRMAN. Well, I would just say compliance and cost, the 

cost of our military service is very dear. 

I know you are not saying it, but we ought to extend every effort 

that we can to make sure they have the right to vote. And I will 

be working with the ranking member to see if we can delve a little 

bit further into the question of what happened in those two major 

States. The gentlelady from California, our clean-up hitter to bring 

us on home. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

I hope I can clean this up. 

I appreciate it, and I know that the committee is very concerned 

about it. The equal protection issue is very important when it 

comes to voting, and I know the chairman knows that I have been 

a strong advocate for this. As we look at some of the differences 

and the things that we actually can change under the Constitution 

that would work better, not just for our servicemembers, but for all 

people who vote in this country and want to vote in this country. 

We know that there are circumstances when people are 

disenfranchised for no fault of their own, and that is a problem. 

I wanted to turn to the tracking issue for a minute because Mr. 

Stafford and Mr. Jones both mentioned that. And we know that in 

California, and again the chairman is well aware of this, that all 

counties now have established absentee voting, absentee ballot 

tracking systems. And the system is inexpensive, it works very well 

and it really gives people a great level of confidence, which might 

be why we have such a large number of people who actually request a ballot, or even permanent absentee ballot voters who return their ballots, and then they contract them. They know when 

they arrived. They know when they were counted. And that gives 

people really a whole different feeling about their ability to vote. 

And so we think that is important for our servicemembers as well. 

That was built into the MOVE Act, but only in a limited way. 

And so I wonder if you could speak to that a little bit. The Voter 

Foundation Report that came out said only about 10 percent of 

local election officials reported using the tracking system; only 10 

to 20 percent of UOCAVA voters reported using the system; and 

many said that they didn’t even know that tracking was possible. 

So what is it? I mean, why do election officials not advocate as 

strongly as perhaps they could for such a system. 

In San Diego, when we started—it is a feature that received 

98,000 hits before our last election. So, clearly, it works for people. 

Do we need more enforcement of the provision? What would make 

a difference? And do you think that the provision of the tracking 

system, the MOVE Act, could and should be expanded to the civilian populations as well? Would you comment? 

Mr. STAFFORD. We do expand it to the civilian population in Florida. I think perhaps the biggest detriment is there is just a lack 

of awareness out there. Now, as I said in my testimony, I think a 

much better job needs to be done to be able to communicate to the 

voters what these tools are. For instance, the ballot—talking about 

the delivery, I mean, there are these ballot—I don’t know if you all 

are familiar with the Wizard, FVAP Wizard, and each State had 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

271 

its own ability to develop it for their own particular state using 

money from FVAP. 

And it basically is like a secure link. It goes to the voters so 

there is not actually transmitted material. They go up to this link. 

They put their information in, they get their particular ballot, fill 

it out online, print it and send it back. So the communicating to 

the voter is really instantaneous once that information is prepared 

by the supervisor of elections or the equivalent in their particular 

jurisdiction. 

So I just, quite honestly, think it is a lack of awareness of the 

tools that are out there. Because we saw, I think—I don’t know 

what the numbers look like, but we just didn’t get a great number 

of—— 

Mrs. DAVIS. Whose job is that? 

Mr. STAFFORD. Well, I think it is everybody’s job. I think it is the 

chief election official in your particular State, certainly it is the jurisdiction who owns that voter, if you will, to be able to get that 

material; I think it is the military’s job. We have, as you all know, 

voting assistance officers. We have some that do a fantastic job and 

others that don’t. And we understand that they are secondary or 

tertiary duties for these folks that have many, many other things, 

arguably more important, in their day-to-day business than doing 

this. But again, with the speed of instantaneous information and 

cost-free getting this information out, I think everybody can and 

must do a better job. Because I think if we got utilization, full utilization or fuller utilization of the tools that are already available in 

many States and jurisdictions, a lot of these problems would be addressed. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you. 

If I may, Mr. Chairman, because I know that time is running 

out. Just very quickly, and I will submit this for the record. 

[The information follows:] 

Mrs. DAVIS. I have a Marine fellow on my staff who had a great 

suggestion where we would put—taking the military member’s 

LES, their Leave and Earnings Statement. They receive that every 

month. They look at it, of course, because it is their pay stub. And 

you could have some simple voting information on that that would 

direct them and help them to be reminded about their ability to 

vote absentee and to get that information. 

Because there still is, as I mentioned earlier, there still is a tremendous amount of confusion about deadlines. And if that deadline 

were on there and the fact that that person had the ability to just 

move on and get that information within a timeframe would be 

very, very helpful. 

I don’t know, Mr. King, did you want to add something real 

quickly. 

Mr. KING. Thank you, Representative, yes. In terms of information to voters, Indiana law provides that every absentee voter receives a document called the Absentee Voter’s Bill of Rights, which 

sets forth important information for the voter and their recourse if 

an absentee ballot is not delivered. And it seems that would be a 

good mechanism to inform absentee voters about the ability to 

check the status of their ballot. 

Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you. 

ebenthall on DSK29S0YB1PROD with HEARING

272 

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. 

This concludes our hearing today. When I found out I was going 

to have the pleasure of being chairman of this committee, I announced that we were going to have this as our first hearing because I thought there is nothing more important than us protecting 

the rights of voters, particularly those serving us around the world. 

And I want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for 

their bipartisan spirit in which they have dealt with this issue and 

the bipartisan spirit I think that we will go forward on this to try 

and remedy some of the shortcomings that we have found, and also 

find why maybe some people didn’t think we were serious when we 

enacted the law the first time around. We will make sure that that 

seriousness is duly noted. 

As I mentioned before, the hearing record will remain open for 

5 legislative days so that members may submit any materials they 

may wish to be included therein. 

And again, you may receive some written questions from some 

members, and we would ask your help in getting that back to us 

as soon as possible. Thank you very, very much. 

[Whereupon, at 12:50 p.m., the committee was adjourned.]
