INTRODUCTION In recent years, a growing controversy has surrounded efforts by Republicans to disqualify Democratic voters through the technique of vote caging. This technique gained national attention on May 23, 2007 during U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearings on the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006. The attorneys were fired for reasons alleged to be improperly political and irrelevant to theirjob performance.' Monica Goodling, a former senior counsel and White House liaison to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, told the committee t Chandler Davidson is the Radoslav Tsanoff Professor of Public Affairs Emeritus at Rice University. tt Tanya Dunlap holds a Ph.D. in History from Rice University. She currently works as an independent scholar. ttt Gale Kenny holds a Ph.D. in History from Rice University where she is a Lecturer in the History Department. tttt Benjamin E. Wise teaches history and academic writing at Harvard University. He will receive his Ph.D. in History from Rice University in 2008. 1. See generally Fired U.S. Attorneys, WASH.
