McClatchy offers this report on the Senate Rules Committee Hearing today on the nomination of Hans von Spakovsky and 3 other commissioners to the FEC. See also this AP report, this report in The Hill, this report in The Politico, this Roll Call article ($), UPDATE: Dallas Morning News, Austin-American Statesman, Washington Times, Project Vote. Bob Bauer responds to my earlier argument against von Spakovksy’s nomination. Mike Pitts had a very interesting post on the election law listserv opposing the nomination, but the list’s archive function is not working right so I cannot link. I also heard Sen. Bennett refer to a letter by former Democratic EAC commissioner Ray Martinez supporting the nomination (a surprise to me), but I have not seen the letter itself yet.
