When I saw that Jane Mayer had written an article about election lawyer Hans von Spakovsky in the Oct. 29 issue of the New Yorker, I thought to myself: I wonder if Jane Mayer saw my Roll Call story referring to von Spakovsky as leader of Washington’s voter fraud brain trust? Sure enough, early in the story Mayer notes that von Spakovsky is one of a cohort of election lawyers and political operatives “which Roll Call has called the ‘voter fraud brain trust.'” Thank you, Jane Mayer!
