Doug Chapin, a nonpartisan election analyst, finds the claims to be basel ess. "There were no problems that would lead me to believe that there we re stolen elections or widespread fraud," he said.
Person of the Week: Karl Rove "There was no overwhelming reason to cast doubt on the outcome of this el ection," seconded Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, the campaign mana ger for Al Gore's 2000 campaign. Nevertheless, many people have devised various theories, including storie s of voters in largely Democratic counties in Florida whose votes were c hanged for Bush, phantom voters in Ohio, and exit polls showing John Ker ry in the lead that were truer than the final tally. Off the record, man y Democratic strategists dismiss such allegations, but they also know su ch resentment can be channeled for political use in the future. Those Florida Democrats Who Mysteriously Voted for Bush Based at least in part on these conspiracy theories, three Democratic con gressmen have written a letter to the US Government Accountability Off ice. "We are requesting an investigation into all the allegations, of irregula rities with respect to the electronic and other voting machines so that people can have confidence in the result of this election, and so that a ny weaknesses are changed before the next election," said Rep. org, which ques tions why so many counties in Florida that have more registered Democrat s than Republicans ended up voting for President Bush. In regard to Lafayette County, one of the counties in question, it is tru e that there are far more registered Democrats in that county than Repub licans (3,570 to 570, respectively), and that the county elected Bush in this year's election, but the county elected Bush in the last election, too.
