[h3] Was the 2004 Election Stolen?
[/h3]In June Rolling Stone ran an article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delving into the [a href="vny!://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen"]statistical improbability that Bush won the 2004 election[/a] based on massive amounts of evidence that support a Republican-sponsored election fraud across the country, particularly in Ohio.
The GOP used a number of tactics in its fraudulent campaign including ballot-stuffing, denying newly registered voters (particularly in urban and minority precincts) their voting privileges via illegal mailings known as [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caging_list"]caging lists[/a], inane voter registration requirements, preventing thousands of voters from receiving [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_ballot"]provisional ballots[/a], under-providing Democrat-majority precincts with voting machines thus creating enormous queues of voters, faulty machines (particularly from Diebold) that skewed results in the GOP's favor, mostly unnoticed ballot-stuffing and fraud in rural areas, and a fixed recount that was paid for by the Green and Libertarian parties that essentially supported the initial fraudulent numbers.
From the article: "'Ohio was as dirty an election as America has ever seen,' Lou Harris, the father of modern political polling, told me."
