Evanston, Ill. (November 10, 2000) - GovSpot.com (http://www.govspot.com), a nonpartisan government information portal, has shed additional light on the Palm Beach ballot situation. According to GovSpot.com analysis of detailed precinct-level voting and party registration information provided by the Palm Beach County Election Web site before the recount, the 10 Palm Beach County precincts where Pat Buchanan received the most votes (345) had only five voters registered with the Reform Party.

GovSpot.com provides easy access to precinct-by-precinct Palm Beach County election results, registered party affiliations, the sample Palm Beach County presidential ballot, information on legal challenges to the ballot, transcripts of interviews with key political figures, information about the Florida recount, local and national news sources, information about the Electoral College process and much more.

"As the nation grapples with an extraordinary set of election circumstances, we believe that it is in everyone's best interest, regardless of political affiliation, to have ready access to reliable information," said Lauren Zollinger, StartSpot Mediaworks' editorial director. "Fortunately, government resources like the Palm Beach County site provide detailed raw data that is relevant to the issues at hand. We hope that citizens, educators and the media will use this data to sort fact from spin and exaggeration."
