BREAKING: Hans von Spakvosky Withdraws Nomination to the FEC

by Jonah Goldman

Photo from Slate.com Hans Von Spakovsky, President Bush’s controversial nominee to the Federal Election Commission, has just withdrawn his nomination, ending a confirmation battle that has lasted over a year. The National Campaign for Fair Elections and the Lawyers’ Committee has been helping to lead the opposition to his nomination. We are pleased that von Spakovsky’s efforts to use the levers of justice for partisan political gain while overseeing the Department of Justice’s Voting Section will not be rewarded with a place on the FEC.
