Presidential Commission on Election Administration
Presidential Commission on Election Administration Public Meeting Pennsylvania Convention Center 1101 Arch St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 Wednesday, September 4, 2013 1 >> Mr. Bauer: This hearing of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, all of you I'm sure are familiar with the work of the Commission. We are examining the issues that the President specified by Executive Order in March and we have here the third in our series of public hearings and an excellent panel of election officials to begin the morning. We have a full day, and so we necessarily are going to try to stick very closely to the time limits here, because we also want to leave time not only for the testimony, which in longer form version obviously we have in writing, but also for the Commissioners to have an opportunity to speak with the election officials and ask questions, so my colleague, Mr. Ginsberg this morning is going to be operating the time clock with his usual ruthless efficiency. Woe to all who cross him. In any event, with those opening words I'm going to turn it over to my co-Chair Mr. Ginsberg. >> Mr. Ginsberg: Thank you, Mr. Bauer, welcome, everyone. We are pleased to have you here, and as Bob says, we do have a very full day. We want to begin by extending the regrets of Mayor Nutter, who was supposed to be our leadoff witness and had to attend a funeral today, so he will not be joining us, but we are happy to have with us four distinguished election officials from around the country to present their perspective.
