Conyers discusses vote reform, Bush nominees

Full interview is forthcoming

By Larisa Alexandrovna and John Byrne | RAW STORY Staff

The Michigan congressman who spearheaded Ohio’s first electoral challenge discussed a broad swath of issues in an interview with RAW STORY Wednesday, outlining his future plans for voting reform and criticizing efforts to deflect criticism from President Bush’s cabinet nominees by focusing on the color of their skin.

Rep. John Conyers, Jr., the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, spoke about his efforts to investigate voting irregularities in Ohio. He also detailed his thoughts on issues currently facing Congress.

Conyers’ investigation produced the second electoral challenge of the presidential contest in history. The challenge, he says, has given new definition to his cause.

“We established the fact that we’re not taking these massive irregularities and violations of election law lying down anymore,” Conyers said.
