Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

jZnat writes, "In June Rolling Stone ran an article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delving into the statistical improbability that Bush won the 2004 election based on massive amounts of evidence that support a Republican-sponsored election fraud across the country, particularly in Ohio. The GOP used a number of tactics in its fraudulent campaign including ballot-stuffing, denying newly registered voters (particularly in urban and minority precincts) their voting privileges via illegal mailings known as caging lists, inane voter registration requirements, preventing thousands of voters from receiving provisional ballots, under-providing Democrat-majority precincts with voting machines thus creating enormous queues of voters, faulty machines (particularly from Diebold) that skewed results in the GOP's favor, mostly unnoticed ballot-stuffing and fraud in rural areas, and a fixed recount that was paid for by the Green and Libertarian parties that essentially supported the initial fraudulent numbers." From the article: "'Ohio was as dirty an election as America has ever seen,' Lou Harris, the father of modern political polling, told me."

there has been fraud, corruption, and all manner of crap going on in elections in the US since the beginning of time.

My, aren't we feeling patriotic today. Who cares that you failed history.

Katherine Harris?

No mention of Katherine Harris and the Great Florida Voter Purge of 2000?

Had those thousands of voters been able to vote in either election, the results may have been drastically different.

You know, the one in charge of elections in Florida. The same Katherine that believes that she can do whatever she wants in life because Jesus died for her sins so she is forgiven. The same Harris that believes God chooses our politicians.

Quickest solution to fix the US political system: Instant Runoff Voting.

Air America is run by fat junkies? Air America has been divorced multiple times?

That's a good one.

Iraq War news: Anbar province lost

[doom]

I totally trust your descriptions of recent events even w/o a reference to a single news piece. But then again I doubt you read any yourself, probably just got some excerpts from Kos. Try peeking out of your echo chamber once in a while.

Well here are some news reports for you. It looks like the main source on this is the Washington Post:

• Situation Called Dire in West Iraq Anbar Is Lost Politically, Marine Analyst Says
• Iraq?s Anbar province a lost cause? Intelligence report pessimistic about controlling western province
• Iraqi insurgents launch wave of sectarian attacks in Kirkuk
• US intel report: Iraq's Anbar province 'politically lost'

Let us know any time you need some help with google news searches.
