Civil Rights Panel Faulted on Hiring Choice
Darryl Fears, The Washington Post: "Democratic critics say Hans A. von Spakovsky is an odd fit for his new job at the US Commission on Civil Rights. Von Spakovsky, a former Justice Department official who pushed for the approval of a Georgia voter identification law that critics claimed made it difficult for poor people and the elderly to vote, was hired in July as a special assistant for the commission."
