The Election Assistance Commission is hiring Alice Miller, who has been investigated for fraud, then the investigation was blocked, and now she is to be rewarded with a new job, as chief operating officer for the EAC.  More information on her and this story is provided below.

Here is an easy way to sign on as protesting this hiring to your senators and representatives and your local newspapers.  Please click on this below link, take the needed 1 to 2 minutes, and fill out the form and send it off.  If you have time, call your Senator and Representative also.  I called mine, Senator Sherrod Brown today, and asked that congressional hearings take place on Alice Miller's EAC job in light of the issue of alleged fraud in her past and the apparent theft of tens of thousands of dollars. 

Thank you for your quick response!  Her start to work date is scheduled as June 2, 2008.

More on the story (from DC Watch):

"Scheme to obtain unlawful pay raises and back pay. After the BOEE General Counsel received a pay raise (from $109,515 to 121,406) based on recently enacted legislation designed to ensure retention of practicing attorneys in the District government, legislation that would permit raises to the Director of OCF by removing the statutory cap was sought by OCF but not obtained.

Because the salary of the OCF Director is capped at the highest step of DS-16 ($109,515) of the District's excepted service schedule, attempts to process such a raise through normal channels would have been rejected by the Office of Personnel unless the cap were removed.

For this reason, the technical assistance of a computer security technician employed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) was enlisted to make the salary changes directly to the District's computerized payroll system. This change to the electronic payroll unlawfully effectuated the raise by circumventing the administrative safeguards that ensure that employees receive appropriate salaries."
