The U.S. Senate Rules Committee was going to meet on May 21 and vote on whether to approve three new Federal Election Commissioners. However, the Committee couldn’t get a quorum. The Committee will try again on May 22. It will be advantageous for the FEC to have enough commissioners in order to carry on business. For example, no one can be certified for primary season matching funds without an FEC vote. Also, should any group wish to apply for recognition as the National Committee of a political party, the FEC must approve that. It is conceivable that the Working Families Party will seek this status.
