From Mark Crispin Miller:Friends, tomorrow (Wednesday, 5/14), I will be testifying before two subcommittees
of the House Judiciary Committee, which is looking into how the DoJ
has dealt with vote suppression. Hearings begin at 2 p.m.
I'll be joined by Allen Raymond, the GOP operative who went to prison over his
involvement in the party's phone-jamming scheme in New Hampshire's 2002
election (he was the fall guy), and Paul Twomey, the Democratic lawyer whose
civil suit over the matter has apparently been thwarted by the DoJ.
For my part, I'll be talking about the activities of Sproul & Associates, which
ran stealth voter registration drives throughout the nation in the months before the
2004 election.
(The GOP was also supposed to have a witness there, but decided not to.)
If you're in the DC area, please try to be there. The hearing will be
held in the Judiciary Committee Main Hearing Room, 2141 Rayburn House Office Building,
at Independence and South Capitol Street. The hearing room is on the first floor.
For those who can't attend, the hearing will be webcast on the Committee's
web page, at www.judiciary.house.gov.
