[EL] DOJ Civil Rights/Voting leadership

[Hess, Doug]

Hi, all. Two questions about DOJ:


1)  I'm wondering who is filing which of the leading positions in DOJ regarding voting and civil rights (at least as far as those CRD leaders who might oversee voting).  I haven't seen a "leadership chart" on DOJ before, and the only name I see on the DOJ website is Tom Wheeler as Acting AAG for Civil Rights Division (I assume acting means temporarily promoted from within and not awaiting Senate approval or formal appointment?). So my question is: Who is filling acting or appointed, as well as continuing or even vacant, leadership roles on voting rights at DOJ right now in either the section or CR division?


2)  Has the Voting Section filed any litigation or joined any suits since the start of the Trump Administration? I don't see any recent activity listed, but not sure if they list them all.

Thanks for any thoughts.
