In December 2006, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission released a report on voter fraud - Election Crimes: An Initial Review and Recommendations for Future Study. The report caused a storm of controversy. Consultants who drafted the report alleged that the EAC had improperly edited the report without their permission. In response, EAC Chair Donetta Davis asked the EAC Inspector General to review the circumstances surrounding the publication of the report. This week, the OIG released its findings in response to Davis's request. The OIG report clears the EAC of charges that the voter fraud report was changed for political reasons, but finds that the EAC mismanaged the process for drafting and editing the report. According to the OIG, "The investigation revealed that there was confusion regarding the intended scope of the project and the intended use of the consultants' draft report….However, we found no evidence to support allegations that the changes were made to the report due to improper reasons or political motivations."
