Election Law Center has obtained a many page letter sent to a prominent Senator with oversight authority over the Pentagon’s FVAP.  It notes that FVAP is now tainted by a partisan slant which may manifest itself in either lackadaisical mission execution this fall, or worse, outright partisan shenanigans.  We will report more on this once we have more details, but a portion of the letter is below:

“Mr. McGuire, who is a self described political hack, served as a political appointee, Deputy Secretary of State, for six years in Oregon, and notably promised Al Gore in 2000, “I will deliver you the State of Oregon.”  Mr. McGuire’s background would not be an issue if FVAP were successful and in compliance with the MOVE Act. Under the previous Director, Bob Carey, who hired Mr. McGuire, FVAP was run with an iron fist.  Mr. Carey insisted on a strict chain of command. . . . . There has been an utter lack of leadership at FVAP, as I stated, since inception.”
