You can access here a live feed of the Senate hearing. I just saw Sen. Durbin question von Spakovsky about his anonymous law review article supporting voter id, written while he was at the DOJ dealing with voter id issues, and then taken down from the FEC website (more information on these issues here).
Von Spakovsky said that he did clear publishing the article with the ethics office at DOJ (it was not clear if he asked about doing so anonymously). He said he took the article down from his FEC website after press inquiries because it was “distracting” from his job as FEC commissioner.
It all started with this post of mine from March 29, 2006.
