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.

    Democrats will never admit fraud

    Gene,

    Do you honestly think the Democratic Party would ever publicly state that an election was stolen? Whatever they think privately, they're never going to say "stolen" in public. That would be election suicide. Look at how much flak Gore took simply for contesting the outcome in 2000 (cries of Sore/Loserman). And Gore just wanted to count all the votes in Florida! (God forbid democracy should take a few weeks.)

    So, Manjoo's use of the conclusions from the Democratic Party's farce of a report (and Kennedy's omission of said conclusions) is meaningless. Consider the source.

    If you want truth, you're not going to find it in a political party. They have to (or, choose to) play the game.
