<\/a>In a statement<\/a> today, Tova Wang of the Century Foundation says in part:<\/p>\n

Over the last few weeks, there has been a developing controversy in the press and in the Congress over a report on voter fraud and voter intimidation I co-authored for the Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”\u009d). It has been my desire to participate in this discussion and share my experience as a researcher, expert and co-author of the report. Unfortunately, the EAC has barred me from speaking. Early last week, through my attorney, I sent a letter to the Commission requesting that they release me from this gag order. Despite repeated follow-up, the EAC has failed to respond to this simple request. In the meantime, not only can I not speak to the press or public — it is unclear under the terms of my contract with the EAC whether I can even answer questions from members of Congress.<\/div>\n
