Your Committee further finds that his commitment to ensuring fairness in the process of registering and counting votes will continue to be an asset to the Board.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
