At least he is being honest about it. I am sure they have already set up a Trust to Sway the Electors in secret and are busily setting about the process of tampering with the election(again).

It's Bob Beckel trying to get Electors to switch votes. He already has 5 or 6 electors targeted, who might switch. Claims not to have spoken to the electors or Gore yet. Although I heard a talk show interview an elector at least a week ago, saying she had been called asked to switch votes. He will try to get them to switch by presenting them with a rational analysis, certified by political scientists, showing that more people voted for Gore. One reporter asked: "Is this like jury tampering?" unfortunately this is legal in the good ole USA. "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, who managed Walter Mondale's 1984 Democratic presidential campaign and has close ties to Mr. Christopher, has been checking into the background of Republican electors, with an eye toward persuading a handful of them to vote for Mr. Gore. If Mr. Bush eventually prevails in Florida but wins none other of the most closely contested states, he would have 271 electoral votes. Three GOP defections could make Mr. Gore president." "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." Message 14832785
