We might not know for sure whether the 2004 election was stolen but we can count on one thing: Good ol' reliable Farhad Manjoo. If Bush had gotten 103% of the vote Mr. Manjoo would dependably say that the election wasn't really stolen because Bush probably got a majority anyway.
If the 'foil heads' reforms are adopted we will have unquestionably fair elections. Treating the problems as minor glitches that don't really change anything and can be fixed when we get around too it hasn't given us such elections and I doubt that that approach ever will.
