Was the 2004 election stolen? No.

In Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argues that new evidence proves that Bush stole the election. But the evidence he cites isn't new and his argument is filled with distortions and blatant omissions.

Question on exit polling for Mr. Manjoo

Since you seem to be following these letters pretty closely, I have one question on exit polling which troubles me that I would dearly like to have a solid answer to:

In the modern era of national elections, how many times previous to 2000 (with Gore in Florida) have exit polls proven to be wrong? Going further, how many statewide exit polls for electoral office (president, senator or governor) in the modern era have been wrong? Honestly, prior to Florida in 2000, I simply do not ever recall projections based on exit polling later needing to be explained away as wrong. Do you?
