St. Louis Post Dispatch Interviews Thor Hearne, Notes Demise of the American Center for Voting Rights, But Apparently Doesn’t Ask Him About Its Sudden Disappearance

The Post Dispatch article is here. My Slate piece on ACVR is here. The only mention of ACVR in the story: “Until a few months ago, Hearne also served as counsel and frequent spokesman for the American Center for Voting Rights, a St. Louis-based group established in 2005. The center has raised concerns about voter fraud, but its current status is unclear and it has dropped its website.” The story does say that “Hearne is preparing to help defend a similar law, now in effect in Indiana, if Democratic Party leaders there succeed in persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to review the measure.” If he’s not doing this work for ACVR, then for whom?
UPDATE: NPR offers this audio report, “Voting Rights Group Absent Amid Charges of Fraud,” a must-listen on ACVR. Peter Overby tried to get all of the principals of ACVR to comment on the group’s demise, to no avail. That says a great deal about the group’s lack of credibility. (The NPR story follows up on this story on the Schlozman hearing.)
