Trying to dig into this CNN article from Jan 6.

I'm trying to find the source of a statement in a CNN article. Any folks out there have any ideas on this?

Here's the article link:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/06/electoral.vote

Here's what I sent to CNN.com's feedback:

In the article "Bush carries Electoral College after delay" from 1/6/05, this statement is made:

"Republicans dismissed the effort as a stunt, noting that specific allegations of voting problems in Ohio have been investigated by journalists and, the Republicans said, found to be untrue."

As a reader, I would like to know which Republican(s) noted that specific allegations of voting problems in Ohio have been investigated by journalists, and in what context. I have been unable to find a reference to this in the Congressional Record for 1/6/05.

I am trying to find out which specific allegations and which journalists the Republican(s) meant. Without this information, the statement is practically devoid of any useful information.

Without knowing who said this and when, I have little chance at discovering this myself. The author of this story, presumably, either heard this first-hand or was in a position to seek out the specifics on this.

Please let me know what you find out.
