https://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/don-siegelman
Siegelman beat Republican Governor and one-time Democrat Fob James in 1998, and as early as several months after his inauguration, partisan post-election mobilization would result in federally-directed probes into his administration. A popular Democrat in a red state, Siegelman narrowly lost his job in 2002 when a couple of thousand votes suspiciously changed overnight.
