House Public Integrity and Ethics Committee


The Honorable Larry Metz Chair
404 House Office Building
the Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida

February 27, 2018

Testimony

Good morning Chairman Larry Metz, sponsor Brad Drake, and honorable members of the
House Public Integrity and Ethics Committee. My name is James Kracht and I am submitting
this testimony as the president of the Florida Council of the Blind in support of the passage of
HB 709.
For more than a dozen years Florida's blind voters in many counties have been forced to
accept the status of second class citizens and vote on old DRE touch screen voting machines.
These machines were specifically found by the Florida legislature to be unreliable, without
verifiable ballots and thus illegal for continued use by all Florida voters but the blind.
It was 1954 when this nation's highest court held that "separate but equal" is unlawful and
discriminatory, resulting in unequal treatment in education and thus was not to be tolerated. If
such discrimination is unlawful in education, it only follows that 65 years later, it is unlawful and
unacceptable discrimination in voting. Honorable members of this committee the continuation of
this discrimination in voting is just plain wrong.
Florida's voters who are blind deserve the right and the privilege to have their counties
provide more than old retired voting machines that are not deemed fit for use by the rest of
Florida's voters. This Legislature, the Florida Supervisors of Elections, the county Clerks, and
the advocates who promote their own bias noninclusive agendas, have stood by idly. They have
knowingly assisted in the continued push back of a mandate not requiring accessible verifiable
voting by all counties for more than 13 years, or now until 2020. Further pushback and delay is
intolerable and unacceptable.
After all these years, HB709 must finally be passed and passed now. In response to our pleas,
vendors have produced and obtained certification by Florida's Division of Elections of accessible
voting machines with verifiable ballots. Now, with just 2 years to go, voters, and not just blind
voters, but "all" voters must be given the ability and the right to vote on the same voting
equipment and end the discrimination faced by blind voters in Florida. Allowing all voters in
Florida to use the same voting system would mean that counties would no longer be forced to
buy machines used only by the blind. The availability of these machines for all would reduce
waiting lines in polling places. The continued availability and use of already outlawed and
outdated voting machines must end.
Folks like those from Verifiable Ballots only last week called me as President of the Florida
Council of the Blind requesting me to withdraw our support of this bill. They continue asking
blind voters to back off and accept the use of illegal, separate, unequal and "different" voting
machines. They seemingly call for more study and analysis at the expense of blind voters who
have already been forced to endure voting on illegal voting equipment for the past 13 years. This
we should not do. This you cannot do again.
Please pass HB709 and let all voters have the ability, the opportunity and the right to use the
same voting machines. If the equipment is good enough to be certified by use for the blind, it
only follows that it must be available for use by the rest of Florida's voters. These new machines
do in fact have ballots which are verifiable not just in the voting machine itself, but also in the
tabulator, and in the eye of the voter's hands as well. To suggest that the existence of an
additional bar code on the ballots renders them nonverifiable is false, and misleading.
Please support the adoption ofHB 709 and give us and our sighted peers the same civil right,
the right to vote on the same voting machines.

Speaker Chair

Report on Proposed Investigation


February 26, 2018

The Hon. Richard Corcoran


Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Your Public Integrity & Ethics Committee herewith submits the following report regarding a
proposed investigation into the actions or omissions of public agencies relevant to events and
circumstances related to Nikolas Jacob Cruz prior to, during, and immediately following the tragic
shooting that occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018.

At the request of the Speaker, the Public Integrity & Ethics Committee will coordinate the
investigation, initially in the gathering of relevant records, documents, and data. The purpose of
the investigation is to identify policy changes and resources required in order to ensure such an
event will never happen again. While Florida law entitles the committee to have access to such
materials held by any public agency, including any confidential information contained therein, s.
11.143, F.S., does not set any time requirement for a response to such demands. The legislative
calendar makes time of the essence and the committee believes that subpoenas duces tecum with
a prompt return date may advance the committee's access to such records.

The House has authority pursuant to Section 5, Article III of the Florida Constitution, to compel
production of documents upon any matter under investigation and may directly punish any refusal
to obey its lawful orders. Therefore, the committee recommends the House issue subpoenas duces
tecum to the Broward County Sheriff, the Broward County School Board, Broward County, the
Palm Beach County Sheriff, and the City of Coral Springs seeking such documents as the House
deems pertinent to the investigation. In addition, the House should request and expect all relevant
records from any state agency that may have pertinent infmmation.
