Spitzer Comes Out Swinging
Spitzer calls for electoral overhaul

ALBANY - Turning his attention from corporate wrongdoing to the electoral system, state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer called yesterday for voting reform to prevent irregularities similar to the flaws of the 2000 presidential election.

Spitzer, a Democratic candidate for governor in 2006, said the three-month-long battle over an election in Westchester's 35th Senate District showed a need for an overhaul.

"The 35th Senatorial District has become Dade County," Spitzer said.

Looks like it's shaping up Boxer '08, then Spitzer '16.

4. Official contact info

If you were looking for a private avenue of communication, I have none. But I'd see what I could do if it's something urgent.

3. not so sure
Not so sure, from my point of view. Spitzer has been sitting on Ellen Mariani's 9/11 lawsuit because it would hurt his political ambitions.

They're preparing it now.
