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.

    Not this same article again!

    Farhood Manjoo thinks the 2004 election was fairly won by George Bush. We know this, because we've read it before. Whatever. Salon will assign this story to him again, when the next round of evidence comes up. They will assign the peace march story to Michele Goldberg. This is what they do. Assign the same reporters to the same story over and over. I won't cancel my subscription to Salon because of this, it's throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I still read it daily and like it quite a lot. But I won't read Mr. Manjoo's stories anymore than I read Michelle Goldbergs. I get it! Not stolen! Hippielike and ineffective! Okay!

    For the record, my husband worked the polls in Ohio during the 2004 election. He wants you to know that in Ohio, douchebaggery won the day. Bush only won, if at all, because of the full time job done by Republican party keeping people from voting. Election stolen. End of story.
