Read the commissioner’s letter for a good look at scapegoating, but more importantly read Ray Murphy’s analysis:

I can’t wait for these election results to be made public.

More importantly, I hope this is a wake-up call to Mayor Nutter, who has publicly supported the public’s access to voting records, and to Council that we need:

a) much more scrutiny on the current Commissioner’s office, especially in this critical election year to make sure that all staff there are focused on making voting as easy as possible and are being as creative as possible to do so and

b) that it is well past time to change the City Charter to disband the Commissioner’s office altogether and replace it with an administrative department helmed by an appointed chief (similar to the OIG) with only civil-service staff.
