''Election Reform Rigged by GOP''

"The first meeting of the Baker-Carter Election Commission was disappointing and, at times, outrageous and tainted with racially-charged innuendo. Let me make absolutely clear that I greatly admire former President Jimmy Carter and believe he was insightful and on-target throughout the hearing. However, given the incredible lack of balance and profound lack of good faith demonstrated by some of Carter's fellow Commissioners and many of the witnesses at this hearing, at times he seemed to be a very lonely voice of sanity. The remarks of Mr. James Baker III, which were echoed by a number of right wing political operatives called as witnesses, seemed to have a singular purpose of spreading hoaxes and conspiracy theories about ineligible Democratic voters being allowed to cast votes."-John Conyers, cited on The Peace Table.
