Obama to Announce Group to Improve 'the Election Day Experience'

President Barack Obama will use tonight's State of the Union Address to announce a group that will explore ways to improve "the Election Day experience." The Huffington Post, which broke the news, calls the group "a bipartisan presidential voting commission." 

"The commission is one of a number of efforts the Obama administration is making to address the problems that plagued voting on Election Day 2012. The commission, which will focus specifically on Election Day issues and not broader voting reform, will likely be co-chaired by one Republican and one Democratic lawyer, according to one of the sources," reports the Huffington Post.

These are issues that Obama has considered, we're told:

Obama mentioned the need to reform voting in both his acceptance speech on Election Day and during his second inauguration address.

Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said in an interview with HuffPost last week that the administration was considering a wide range of options in response to the voting problems of the 2012 election.
