The Democrat Electoral College tampering is being led by Bob Beckel
Al Gore is attempting to reverse the outcome of the election by any means necessary. That includes tampering with the Electoral College itself. Democrat operatives have begun clandestine background checks on Republican electors already certified from the 29 states George W. Bush won on November 7. They are looking for ways to persuade – or intimidate – Republican electors into changing their votes . . . a shift of three [Electoral votes] would give Al Gore a majority – and there are people in Gore's camp who seem to think private investigators can sway enough votes to win . . . a Wall Street Journal report on the Democrats' undercover assault on Republican electors [by Wall Street Journal's Glenn Simpson, Tom Hamburger, and Laurie Cohen says "One battle-tested Democratic consultant has even begun a quiet intelligence-gathering operation that could aid a last-ditch Gore strategy in the Electoral College. Bob Beckel . . . has been checking into the background of Republican electors, with an eye toward persuading a handful of them to vote for Mr. Gore . . . 'It is information gathering on my part, using my own network,' Mr. Beckel said, confirming an operation he set in motion days after the Nov. 7 election. 'I call on mostly Democrats, but some Republicans, too, and ask, 'Who are these electors, and what do you know about them?' I just wanted to know who these electors are.' Mr. Beckel, who owns a political-analysis business based in Arlington, Va., said he is working independently, 'on an ad-hoc basis,' and hasn't yet contacted any electors directly. 'I wouldn't do that without first informing the Gore campaign,' he said. The Gore camp itself has disavowed any intention of seeking to sway GOP electors.]
That worked well didn’t it?
