The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire is right. Complaints are piling up at the FEC.  It's time for Senator Mitch McConnell to end the impasse.  Help us Fix The FEC:

The political gridlock that has left the Federal Election Commission unable to do its job of enforcing campaign finance laws has prompted one outside liberal watchdog group to launch a new Web site protesting the inefficiency.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington today launched FixTheFec.Org, which puts the blame on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for blocking the votes needed to fill three of the six-member FEC’s four vacant seats.

Congress and the White House have been at odds over the normally mundane appointments because many leading Democrats oppose the nomination of Republican pick Hans Von Spakovsky and are pushing for separate up or down votes on each of the three pending nominees. The White House and Senate Republican leaders want one vote to approve the nominees together. The dispute has left the panel without a quorum and unable to make any rulings since December.

In any other year, the consequences of an FEC political stand-off might not be so great, but the complaints are piling up at the commission in a high-stakes election year that is shattering previous campaign finance records.
