Phone contact: 123-456-7890 Purpose: Website claiming Bush stole the election (formatted in an extremely similar manner to several other sites owned by Democrats.com) Notes: obviously fraudulent phone contact info given with registration.
Notice that Lytel registered the domain name on November 1st, 6 days before the election and long before anybody knew who was going to win. This suggests the website was created to as a preparation tool to attack Bush's legitimacy if and when he won the presidency a week later. Recall that Gore campaign strategists were prepared for the event that there would be a contested election before election day, and quickly mobilized in Florida within a day of the election.
