DoJ Prevents Voting Rights Section Chief from Testifying
By Paul Kiel - July 16, 2007, 5:20 PM

The House Judiciary Committee was set to hold a hearing on the
Civil Rights Division's voting rights section tomorrow, but no
more. That's because the Justice Department has refused to allow
the chief of the section, John Tanner, to testify. The committee
has postponed the hearing until the Department allows Tanner to
appear.
A career employee at the Department, Tanner worked hand in hand
with political appointees Bradley Schlozman and Hans von Spakovsky
to ensure the passage of voter identification laws in Georgia and
elsewhere -- sometimes overruling the recommendations of staff
analysts and attorneys, who found that the laws might discriminate
against African American voters.
Both Schlozman and von Spakovsky endured hard questioning during
testimony last month. Tanner would have gotten the same treatment.
Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) wrote
to Alberto Gonzales today to request that he make Tanner available
for testimony.
