Dead People Voting, The Real Problem
By Laura McGann - June 8, 2007, 5:45 PM
Meet Peter Kirsanow. He is a commissioner at the US Commission on Civil Rights, a government commission charged with monitoring violations of civil rights with a special emphasis on voting rights.

The body acts as a “clearinghouse” for charges of voting rights and civil rights violations by holding hearings and keeping track of related information. Although it does not have enforcement powers, it sends reports to Congress and the White House.

Kirsanow has been at the civil rights commission since 2001 and became a controversial figure after President Bush appointed him to the National Labor Relations Board during a Senate recess in January 2006. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and other Democratic senators were outraged at Kirsanow’s appointment at the time. Kennedy called Kirsanow and “ardent foe of basic worker protections.”
