The question is: Who's designing the book? . . .
by Dennis Johnson
“The county election supervisor who devised the infamous ‘butterfly ballot‘ that helped spur the 2000 presidential election meltdown is writing a book about her experiences.” According to an Associated Press wire story, Theresa LePore admits she’s working on a book and that she’s partnering with Marty Rogol, “a friend with national marketing experience,” but she won’t say much else. “There’s definitely a book that’s in the works,” she tells the AP. “As far as the dirt goes, you’ll have to wait for the book.” LePore, a Democrat, was voted out of office last fall by “Democrats who blamed her for President Bush’s election.”
