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.

    ugh

    Farhad Manjoo lays his argument out methodically but we have also heard this before. He cites well-known election fraud debunkers and probably wrote this one on autopilot. He has already been on the record as being dismissive of claims that the vote was stolen. It was obvious that he was going to come out swinging against RFK Jr. It was only a question of when Manjoo was going to write this article.

    We will never know for sure if the vote was stolen or not. But there is more than enough proof that some weird stuff happened and that is enough reason to investigate the vote. Manjoo's claim that the vote wasn't stolen is a position of arrogance. 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.

    This article does nothing to advance the discussion about the 2004 election. What a disappointment.
