Studied locations accounted for about 8 percent of all votes cast in the 2016 presidential election. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533603332652-VNY9D4B0KEKIVXFXWGOB/New+Realities+cover.png Projects The vote-by-mail process can be more convenient for voters who are unable or unwilling to contend with lines at polling places on Election Day. However, voting by mail is not a voting option without risk. Outdated laws, new administrative policies, and the realities of the political process today introduce obstacles voters may not be aware of. Without recognizing that voting by mail in 2016 is very different than in years past, voters are more likely to unwittingly disenfranchise themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533602516017-U0K55AOCSL4QQF74KXC1/PCEA+Report+Cover.png Projects The Presidential Commission on Election Administration was a bipartisan commission appointed by President Obama in 2013 after numerous reports of long lines during Election Day 2012. I was an informal advisor to the commission during its deliberations, assisted on report writing, and BPC took the work of the commission in house after its final report was released in January 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533604312241-66NDN0YJ1PKX91XRHL1C/HCI.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533604325222-5PV7R0AOLNLLZHMX1E23/management.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533603972753-BP8CYGJDNSELK88ZZG1U/governing.png Projects The commission identifies reforms in three specific areas: the electoral process, the process by which Congress legislates and manages its own affairs, and the ability of Americans to plug into the nation’s civic life through public service. We chose to focus on three broad areas of reform, because the polarization in the United States runs deeply through its institutions, affects the ways Americans elect political leaders and how the institutions of government operate, and even puts in danger Americans’ deep-seated desire to serve their nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1533604756788-TL2N2DTPH8R7OAK5LHGQ/igs.png Projects In the report, Oversight Matters: What’s Next for Inspectors General, the BPC Task Force on Oversight and Inspectors General recommends rethinking the IG-agency relationship so that the inspector general has a seat at the table during agency management meetings so that problems can be caught and fixed early. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1573749699278-CZ0WCVV5H6WR87221YWC/Lines2018.png Projects The 2018 Voting Experience: Polling Place Lines (November 2019) https://www.matthew-weil.com/home daily 1.0 2020-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2728b3a0411979fd9e6e3/1502821033998-75VO7RYFSLONLU2GZRPE/Weil-headshot.jpg Home https://www.matthew-weil.com/resume daily 0.75 2020-11-05
