Back in July, President Bush nominated Gineen Bresso Beach to fill a Republican seat on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, opened when EAC Commissioner Caroline Hunter went over to the FEC. I follow election law pretty closely, but I did not hear anything about this. The Center for Competitive Politics blog noted the nomination a couple of weeks ago.
In any case, the hearing before the Senate Rules Committee is now set for September 25 (which I believe is a Thursday, though this notice says Wednesday).
