From Roll Call: President Bush took advantage of the Congressional recess to appoint a trio of commissioners to the Federal Election Commission today, a move that was expected but has several prominent campaign finance reformers crying foul. The newly appointed Republican commissioner is Hans von Spakovsky, a political appointee in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, who was previously a Republican election appointee in Georgia. He fills the vacant GOP seat on the six-member commission that was held until last summer by Brad Smith, who has retired. Two Democrats also were named to the commission: labor attorney Robert Lenhard and Steven Walther, a former lawyer to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
