I don't know anything about Mark Crispin Miller's book, but there is some very compelling evidence that the 2004 election was rigged, and it's the statistical analysis of the exit polls. I noticed this discrepancy on election day, but a very respected series of statisticians have all concluded that the likelihood of all the exit-polls being wrong in precisely the same way is 1 in a million, about the same as earth being struck by a previously unidentified meteor---tomorrow. The website showing these very sound studies is:
http://www.donotconcede.com/Dataexitpolls.html and I defy anybody to say that these studies are not scientifically valid. Somebody was tampering with the results of the 2004 election. Somebody has turned the United States government into a secretive and tyrannical enemy of the peace and prosperity of people worldwide (notice that I said "of people"---somebody obviously likes every "person" whose name ends in "Inc."). I feel quite certain that the same "somebody" is involved at all levels---and that "somebody" is either the Bush-Cheney-Rove triumvirate or the "invisible hand" that moves them all and keeps them in power when they should be....elsewhere.
I urge everyone interested in the topic to read the above website and:

Scientific Analysis Suggests Presidential Vote Counts May Have Been Altered
Group of University Professors Urges Investigation of 2004 Election
Officially, President Bush won November's election by 2.5%, yet exit polls showed Kerry winning by 3%[1]. According to a report to
be released today by a group of university statisticians, the odds of a discrepancy this large between the national exit poll and election
results happening by accident are close to 1 in a million.
In other words, by random chance alone, it could not have happened. But it did.
Two alternatives remain. Either something was wrong with the exit polling, or something was wrong with the vote count.
