Dix-sept agences de renseignement et de maintien de l'ordre s'accordent \u00e0 dire que des agents russes ont pirat\u00e9 les syst\u00e8mes informatiques d'inscription des \u00e9lecteurs des partis politiques et des \u00c9tats am\u00e9ricains. Dimanche, lors du Super Bowl, le pr\u00e9sident Trump a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00e0 un auditoire de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision national que les listes \u00e9lectorales \u00e0 travers l'Am\u00e9rique regorgent de noms de personnes in\u00e9ligibles au vote et qu'une commission dirig\u00e9e par le vice-pr\u00e9sident \u00e9tudierait le probl\u00e8me.<\/p>
Mardi, une commission de la Chambre des repr\u00e9sentants a vot\u00e9 la fermeture de la Commission d\u2019assistance \u00e9lectorale (EAC), une agence f\u00e9d\u00e9rale importante mais obscure cr\u00e9\u00e9e pour aider les \u00c9tats \u00e0 moderniser et \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger leurs syst\u00e8mes de vote et d\u2019inscription.<\/p>
Amazing, isn't it?<\/p>
Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Miss., chairman of the House Administration Committee, said the EAC has “outlived\" his usefulness. His committee also voted Tuesday to eliminate the public-financing system for presidential elections dating back to the 1970s.<\/p>
The EAC \"is the only federal agency charged with making sure voting machines can’t be hacked,\" La Nation<\/a> Le magazine a observ\u00e9 que le Congr\u00e8s avait cr\u00e9\u00e9 cette agence apr\u00e8s les \u00e9lections d\u00e9sastreuses de 2000 en Floride pour rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes tels que les bulletins papillon et les bulletins suspendus.
