Tova Wang Issues Comment on EAC IG Report

Tova Wang asked me to post the following:

While I have many issues with the way in which our work was characterized by the Inspector General in his report on the EAC study on fraud and intimidation, there is one clarification I would like to make. The "draft report" that we submitted to the EAC staff and then was released to the press was just that -- a "draft report." I NEVER expected that version to be a final report or that it would be released to the public. It clearly required editing and revision, a process I expected would be undertaken through a collaborative effort with myself, Job Serebrov, EAC staff and Commissioners, as I believe was the process followed with respect to other EAC consultant reports. That never happened. Instead, the EAC took the report,refused to let us have any further involvement, and edited and revised it into what they released as the final report.

I will have no further comment.
