"A bipartisan deployment of lawyers and legal challenges in the run-up to Election Day" has prompted the Republican Party to bolster its PR and media work, reports PR Week. Mindy Tucker Fletcher [3], an Ogilvy PR [4] executive and the main Bush spokesperson during the 2000 recount [5], is leading the Bush campaign [6] PR in Florida. Of the legal teams in swing states [7], Fletcher said, "The Democrats just don't like the laws, and they want to overturn them." Fletcher "and a team of GOP strategists are training spokespeople in swing states to answer questions regarding voter fraud, military ballots, and racial bias."
