What led to The EAC to quietly drop language banning voting equipment from connecting to the internet?

 Let's tackle a few possibilities to why the government's elections agency would inexplicably drop language that would forbid connecting to the internet with voting machines.  As reported in previous articles, Dominion voting machines has two former high-ranking employees, one is the CIO working for the EAC.  And the EAC tends to rubber stamp voting certification of machines. 

Maybe The August Symposium has them scared?

Maybe it's Dr. Frank, Bobby Piton, Edward Solomon, or Dr. Shiva and others proving an algorithm was used to steal the election scared the election commission into change.

A group of computer scientists led by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT-educated Fulbright Scholar, presented what appeared to be a cut-and-dry case of systemic fraud that stemmed from the voting software used in several Michigan counties.

ES&S and Dominion Voting Machines represent 90% of voting machines in America. 

While the company’s website states that “zero” of its voting tabulators are connected to the internet, ES&S told NBC News 14,000 of their DS200 tabulators with online modems are currently in use around the country.

Dominion made similar claims that their machines were not connected to the internet. Cyber “Expert” Chris Krebs admitted in a Senate Hearing that Dominion Voting Machines Linked to the Internet.

Government Elections Agency (EAC) Quietly Drops Language Banning Voting Equipment from Connecting to Internet

So why would this organization meet secretly and drop the language that's once was used to ensure election security? Given the highly controversial election in which hacking into the voting equipment is a central concern, the move to remove this from the languages highly suspicious.

Let's just say this is the same organization that retroactively certified voting equipment after the Gateway Pundit exposed the voting equipment in Maricopa County as not certified.
