The newspaper also interviewed George Hampton and Cleo Mata, two former Project Vote board members. Both denied serving on the board and Hampton, who acknowledged he had been an ACORN member, said he had never heard of Project Vote.

Ironically, Rathke condemned interlocking directorates in the corporate world. In 1980, he endorsed the proposed "Corporate Democracy Act" which would have fined directors up to $10,000 per day for "serving more than two corporations" simultaneously. (Heritage Foundation backgrounder, March 11, 1980)

Go figure.
