SPEARS, District Judge,

¶1dissenting:

¶2Since there is no question but that Uvalde County is covered by § 5 of the Voting Rights Act, and that said county has been subjected to the required federal scrutiny,1 I do not believe that this Court has jurisdiction to determine whether or not the objection letter was timely filed by the Attorney General; nevertheless, even if this Court does have jurisdiction to determine the timeliness of the Attorney General’s objection, I am of the opinion that he acted within the time limits allowed him by the Act. As a consequence, I would grant the motions for reconsideration without regard to the additional grounds set forth therein.
