From the same story:
"We're going to bring all the Democrats home," said Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who campaigned against the recall here last weekend and is among the national Democrats advising Mr. Davis. "This is about more than Gray Davis," he said. "It's about an attempt to undo an election, like Florida."
Oh, please. Firstly, this is not about overturning anything (although it is arguably about undoing something). Like it or not, the recall process is an established element of the California State Constitution and is wholly legitimate.
Further, since Bush had more votes than Gore in Florida dduring the entire recount process, I don't think that it is legit to argue that the Reps tried to overturn anything. More accurately it was the Dems' attorneys who were trying to "overturn" the election.

It is only that: a lie, and naught more. Everytime it is spoken, it needs to be called out for what it is, a lie and nothing else.
