re: #399 wrenchwench

despite being once investigated for issuing voter ID regulations that the Department of Justice determined to be discriminatory against non-white voters.

She was investigated once, probably not at the time of her hiring. What was the outcome of that investigation?
According to her wiki: en.wikipedia.org

Within weeks of election day, two federal courts sided with Handel and the state of Georgia on the importance of verification and ordered the state to continue the processes through the election. In May 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice ordered Georgia to cease citizenship verification under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act which requires federal approval to any changes in election laws in a number of (primarily southern) states. Continued legal battles over the issue are considered likely.

See? This is the kind of thing that makes me suspicious of these claims. She might not be a very nice person and I probably don’t agree with her on many issues but she wasn’t “investigated”. She implemented a rule that went to court. She was not under investigation.
