BOB DORNAN, ousted from his Orange County congressional seat by a 979-vote margin, didn’t lose in vain. In fact, a growing body of evidence suggests that perhaps he didn’t lose at all—that ballot shenanigans might have tipped the scales in favor of his opponent, 36-year-old Democrat Loretta Sanchez.
There were grounds for questioning the result well before November 5. For months, immigrant-rights activists with links to the Democratic Party had been intensively working Hispanic neighborhoods in Dornan’s largely blue-collar district, their aggressive methods practically guaranteed to add suspect names to the voter rolls.
