Dear Ms. :

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the recent election.

As you may know, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) plans to investigate voter registration, electronic voting machines, and the processing of provisional ballots. The Election Assistance Commission
(EAC) also has announced plans to hold public hearings on voter registration guidelines, statewide registration databases, and provisional
balloting. The EAC is currently receiving election data from across the
country, including information on the use of provisional ballots.

Before the election, I supported several initiatives and legislation to ensure the accuracy of electronic voting machines. I will continue to monitor the situation, and I await the GAO's and EAC's findings so that we can improve our nation's voting process.

I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue. I will continue my efforts so all citizens have the opportunity to vote and feel confident that their votes are counted.
