Author of Palm Beach's infamous butterfly ballot writing a book

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.


The county election supervisor who devised the infamous "butterfly ballot" that helped spur the 2000 presidential election meltdown is writing a book about her experiences.

Theresa LePore, who eventually was voted out of office because of the two-page presidential ballot, said Wednesday that the book is in the early stages, and doesn't yet have a title.

"There's definitely a book that's in the works," she said, declining to provide details. "As far as the dirt goes, you'll have to wait for the book."

LePore is working with Marty Rogol, a friend with national marketing experience.

He views a LePore book as a natural.

Her post was changed to nonpartisan in 2002 and Democrats who blamed her for President Bush's election voted her out of office last fall.
