A Democratic Federal Election Commission official who pushed to regulate the internet and has been absent from public meetings for months is resigning, according to an announcement.
Ann Ravel, who wanted to regulate political speech on the internet from websites such as the Drudge Report, announced Sunday that she is stepping down from her post.
“It’s been an honor to serve the FEC. I’m committed to transparency – here’s my resignation letter to Donald Trump,” Ravel tweeted on Sunday morning.

It's like rats ... and a burning ship.
I think the tally was something like 1000 elected seats lost during the last election. It is nowhere near the reflection of what is occurring at all levels.
To quote Jack Nicholson's character from the movie As Good As It Gets ... "Good times. Noodle Salad!!"
Ahhhhahahahahaha!!
Ravel has also been a no-show from FEC public meetings in recent months, phoning it in from California after being passed up for the attorney general spot in the state. During one meeting, Ravel seemed so distant that the Democratic chair of the commission asked if she was awake.
Despite Ravel’s absence from the meetings, she attempted to call for a special meeting that would allow a vote on whether or not she could attend a foreign-funded junket to Ecuador to observe their elections. freebeacon.com...

A frustrated member of the Federal Election Commission is apparently quitting.
Somebody even put up her resignation letter on Twitter.
This FEC member was pretty vocal about "the internet's" role in election influencing.
Looks like she decided to go "underground" after failing a transparent effort.
