Was the 2004 election stolen? No.

    This proably has been said already but there is a HUGE difference between proving something and holding a reasonable belief that something is true

    There may be no smoking gun in Ohio, but given the partisantship motivated by religious fanatacism that animates republican officeholders and elections supervisors in many areas and very specifically in Ohio, combined with documented failure of those same authorities to provide adaquate funtional machines, etc. etc. etc only in democratic areas, it is very reasonable to believe the election was stolen

    —anon
