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.

    did you actually read the article?

    Until we have more evidence--and more analysis by people less prejudiced that Manjoo--responible, rational citizens can only maintain a position of skeptical agnosticism.

    Did you actually read the article? Manjoo cites the Democratic Party, no less, in showing that while there were problems with the election, there was no sign of the election being stolen. Significantly, Kennedy was quick to cite some evidence from these sources but then ignored these conclusions-- from the very same reports!

    That shows right there that Kennedy wasn't interested in an objective report; his is a dishonest hack job with only the veneer of objectivity. He buries you under footnotes/citations but assumes you won't actually go to read the entire thing being cited. Bully to Manjoo for calling his bluff.
