    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.

  • The Policies Kushner Should Push
    Al-Shabaka Policy Memo THE POLICIES KUSHNER SHOULD PUSH FOR By Zaha Hassan Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, as well as envoy Jason Greenblatt and deputy national security advisor for strategy Dina Powell, are in Israel and Palestine today in an attempt to restart the stalled Israeli-Palestinian “peace process.” According to the White House, their discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will in part focus on economic steps that the parties believe help create conditions for peace. Yet more economic development initiatives are not a substitute for political change, particularly when tensions are seething in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and when Gaza is facing a politically constructed humanitarian catastrophe. “Economic development Despite Trump’s early enthusiasm to reach a peace deal, it is now anyone’s guess whether the US intends to advance initiatives are not a specific terms of reference for a final status agreement. Dozens of meetings have already been held between Greenblatt substitute for political and the two sides, yet the administration is still reluctant to publicly state its unequivocal support for a settlement freeze change.” and its commitment to the two-state framework. With reports surfacing that Netanyahu recommended to Trump that the large blocs of Israeli settlement-colonies in the West Bank be annexed to Israel in exchange for Israel ceding Wadi Ara, territory heavily populated with Palestinian citizens of Israel, to the Palestinian Authority, the time is now for Trump’s Middle East team to speak loud and clear about the role it intends to play in negotiations.
