	Theresa LePore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theresa LePore is the former Supervisor of Elections for Palm Beach County, Florida.
		LePore grew up in Palm Beach County, attending Cardinal Newman High School in West Palm Beach, where she was a classmate of disgraced former congressman Mark Foley.
		LePore was a registered Republican, but then switched her party to Democratic because, according to her, "when I ran [for the supervisor position], I chose Democrat because the incumbent was Democrat and the county registration is predominantly Democrat." After the 2000 election, she switched her party registration to No Party Affiliation.

		It was LePore, too, who caused huge problems for the fraught re-count process, first by insisting on the strictest standards for determining voter intent and then, with the final deadline 72 hours away, ordering her staff to take the day off for Thanksgiving.
		After the 2000 débâcle, an unrepentant Theresa LePore was told by the state of Florida that she and her fellow election supervisors would have to replace the punchcard machines that had exposed the state to such ridicule.
		LePore, a registered Independent, was championed by the Republican Party as a much-maligned asset to Floridian democracy (a coded way of thanking her for her role in sending George Bush to the White House).

		Theresa LePore walked into the Compass gay community center in West Palm Beach for an interview last Monday and smiled broadly as she was introduced as “Madame Butterfly Ballot” of the center’s upcoming Stonewall Ball.
		LePore said she opted for the butterfly style ballot in 2000, rather than simply listing all candidates on the same page, in order to make the print larger for the county’s senior population.
		LePore insisted a repeat of the 2000 election is highly unlikely with the new voting system in Palm Beach County.

	washingtonpost.com: The Tabulator
		LePore, supervisor of elections for Palm Beach County, will forever be known as the woman who designed the so-called butterfly ballot that in all likelihood cost Al Gore thousands of votes in a state that George W. Bush officially carried by only 537.
		One of the many ironies of Theresa LePore's political notoriety is that she doesn't seem to be a political person at all.
		LePore's friend Karen Clarke argues that LePore refused to be partisan during the recount, infuriating everyone on both sides.

		LePore bristled when reporters asked, near midnight, why Palm Beach County's vote tallies were running behind those in Broward, Miami-Dade and other counties.
		LePore had predicted a 28 percent turnout for the primary, but lowered it as the day went on and reports of heavy demand for storm supplies at stores indicated voters may have been distracted by the threat of Hurricane Frances.

		It was LePore who chose the notorious "butterfly ballot" – a format so confusing that it led thousands of Democrats, many of them elderly, retired Jewish people, to punch the wrong hole, giving their vote not to Al Gore, as they had intended, but to the right-wing, explicitly anti-Jewish fringe candidate Pat Buchanan.
		Her design for the ballot required voters to fill in a broken arrow linking the name of the office to the candidate – a system widely expected to cause mayhem, which it duly did.
		Arthur Anderson, who has yet to hear from LePore despite sending her flowers after the election, said: "She is just not recognizing the level of mistrust among the voters.
