No, but he briefly mentions that the BBC were the only ones to pick up on the whole Katherine Harris business as it was happening. He said that the Washington Post and the LA Times each ran a single story which was largely ignored.

Unfortunately there's not really much sourcing to do in these types of situations. Who would George, Jeb, Harris, etc really publicize this informatoin to?

The entire first chapter of Stupid White Men, "A Very American Coup" details everything to do with the election, up to Fox's John Ellis declaring Bush the victor in Florida before the votes were even fully counted.

"But down in Tallahassee, the counting of the votes had not yet been completed; in fact, the Assoicated Press insisted it was still too close to call, and refused to follow Fox's lead.
Not so the other networks. They ran like lemmings after Fox made the call, afraid that they would be seen as slow or out of the loop--even though their own news reporters on the ground were insisting that it was too early to call the election. But who needs reporters when you're playing follow the leader--the leader, in this case, being John Ellis, the man in charge of Fox's election coverage. Who is John Ellis?
He's a first cousin of George W. and Jeb Bush."
