Hans von Spakovsky objected to having any Democrats on trump's bogus voter fraud commission

I really dislike Hans von Spakovsky and Christian Adams. Adams got hired by the Bush DOJ when he was clearly unqualified and then pushed the bogus New Black Panther silliness. Adams was also counsel to the King Street Patriots and the True the Vote assholes. Adams and von Spakovsky have pushed the lie that there is massive voter fraud and that to stop this voter fraud we need to stop non-white people from voting.

This e-mail is amazing in that these assholes admit that they having any Democrats on Trump's bogus voter fraud commission would slow down their agenda of using lies about voter fraud to suppress the vote.



It is no wonder that trump's bogus voter fraud commission fell apart. This commission would only work so long as it was composed of liars and idiots like von Spakovsky, Christian Adams and Kris Kobach.

From the wikipedia entry about this creeper:

"his Russian father Anatoly von Spakovsky, who had settled in Yugoslavia after WWI and then fled to Germany after WWII"

Wait a sec.

His father was Russian, and he fled TO Germany AFTER WWII?

Notice anything a little odd there?

I was so happy when he had to leave the election office after his recess appointment expired. I am so glad that the Senate Democrats blocked this asshole

I never heard of them. Thank you.

My mother (an Austrian) had to go through an extensive debriefing merely because she was very briefly in the Russian occupied zone prior to fleeing to US occupied Austria, in order to immigrate to the US to marry my father (a US officer).

Who in the heck was letting in Nazi Russians?

I mean, sure, they weren't communists, but good golly.

He could have been fleeing communism, and assuming he was fleeing to the American controlled sector of Germany (i.e. West Germany) it would have been a natural landing point.

I mean, that's actually how my mother's side of the family handled it. Although I think they went through Austria first.

In election law circles, these idiots, Kobach and John Fund are the only ones stupid enough to push the GOP claim of massive voter fraud and the need to keep non-whites from voting to combat such imaginary voter fraud. Eventually, Hans, Adams and Kobach were all made a part of trump's bogus voter fraud commission. That silly exercise was doomed because there was no real evidence of voter fraud in the real world

The Senate Democrats blocked this asshole's confirmation. Hans and some other bush appointees gutted the DOJ election division and hired idiots like Adams (he was from a tier three law school and would never have been hired without help).

Tom Perez and Eric Holder had to rebuild the DOJ civil rights and election division after these assholes wrecked it.
