UPDATE, 7/16/07 - According to an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch dated July 15, 2007, "No time frame has been established for a final vote on whether to approve his nomination." Click here for article. HE MUST BE STOPPED! Who is Hans von Spakovsky? Hans von Spakovsky is the chief architect of the GOP voter suppression movement. He masterminded the Justice Department pre-clearance of the DeLay Texas redistricting. He masterminded the 2000 Florida "felon" purge and worked the recount on behalf of Bush-Cheney. Von Spakovsky was also instrumental in securing Justice Department approval for the Georgia and Arizona photo ID laws that disenfranchised minorities, the poor, and the elderly.
