May 16, 2008 Reid: FEC Nominee Von Spakofsky's Withdrawal A Victory For Our Electoral ProcessWashington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today regarding Hans von Spakovsky’s withdrawal of his nomination to the Federal Election Commission: “I welcome the President’s decision to withdraw the controversial nomination of Mr. von Spakovsky. It is an action I have repeatedly urged the President to take for more than six months. Democrats stood united in their opposition to von Spakovsky because of his long and well-documented history of working to suppress the rights of minorities and the elderly to vote. He was not qualified to hold any position of trust in our government. “His withdrawal today is a victory for our electoral process. With Mr. von Spakovsky now removed, I anticipate that we will be able to swiftly put a functioning FEC in place. That too is what the American people deserve.” ###
