Lets see. There is the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and there is the Federal Election Agency. There is also the overarching Federal Election Commission that oversees elections in America.
So, in bold letter we say something like- GOP Seeks to Close a Federal Agency (women and children will be harmed not to mention the pandas and the polar bears).
But what is the EAC- The Election Assistance Commission came into existence as part of the Help America Vote Act of 2002, the law that Congress passed to aid states in modernizing their elections following the widespread problems reported during the 2000 presidential balloting. The independent, bipartisan agency was tasked first with distributing $3.1 billion in federal funds to states updating their voting machines. Its ongoing responsibilities include providing guidance to states on federal election law, maintaining the national voter registration form, and certifying voting machines and testing labs for new machines.
So, an evil political party of millionaires and billionaires wants to kill a Federal Agency that has run from 2002-2017 and completed its intended mission. (Insert Sarah Mclaughin's song Angel here, show dogs in puppy mills staring at the camera , and back to narrative) This agency was stood up to assist States in 2002, with a 3.1 Billion budget, its no longer 2002, just checked my watch, and they have no money. But, lets push the narrative. And bring back in Sarah Mclaughlin's music and sad puppy dogs...

While they make voting laws which make it more difficult for citizens to vote.

LTC (Join to see) - No Colonel, but making getting an ID harder for people to get, restricting when you can vote by the date you must register, eliminating Sunday voting which people of color often do by busing voters to polls after church services for voters who do not drive, eliminating same day registration, lessening the amount of polling places in cities where Democrats vote and increasing polling places where Republicans vote thereby frustrating people who must stand in line for hours in order to cast their votes, and the deliberate laws to lessen one party's turn out as the politician in Pennsylvania was filmed saying.
That is a false flag argument that there is widespread voter fraud when the statistics do not arrest to that. I had voted in Florida for twenty years using only my voter registration card. When the new ID law came into effect, I had to jump through hoops My hospital birth certificate was not accepted, so I had to send for it in Ohio and pay a fee for a copy, show a bill with my address and name, Social Security card and whatever other information required to even include a current voter ID card as a form of identification. Those are just some examples.

SGT (Join to see) - I'm sorry but I don't buy it. I have to show my ID routinely every day and for some unknown reason its now too difficult and a restriction to ask for an ID when someone votes?

Did they have voter ID laws even twenty five years ago? Not like now. ALEC has been pushing these laws for years. I don't buy the voter fraud argument. I try try look at all sides of an argument.
