For what its worth, I sent Lott's column to Tom Mann here at Brookings who has followed the election pretty carefully. He claims that reform party membership in Palm Beach is only 400 and that the rest of the people who are being called Reform Party members are independents who have no party affiliation. He also claims that Lott's numbers on spoiled ballots are badly off. William T.
