Check it out. Follow the links I posted. And realize that MSM are strongly disincented from reporting on something as controversial and damning as this. They risked not getting access to the Bush administration going forward. This dampened the amount of coverage it got. Well, average, objective mainstream media have gone on record as agreeing.

" That sounds far too strong to me. There's a huge, huge gap between "there is at least the possibility of some minor voting improprieties", to "if all fraud had been eliminated, the outcome WOULD have been different." Taking it as "accepted fact" implies that average, objective, mainstream journalists (NY Times, WSJ, Newsweek, Economist) would immediately agree. I don't think the situation is anywhere close to what you're implying. “I take it as accepted fact at this point that the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election would have gone to John Kerry if everyone who attempted to vote that day were able to and all the votes were counted correctly. ”

That sounds far too strong to me. There’s a huge, huge gap between “there is at least the possibility of some minor voting improprieties”, to “if all fraud had been eliminated, the outcome WOULD have been different.”

Taking it as “accepted fact” implies that average, objective, mainstream journalists (NY Times, WSJ, Newsweek, Economist) would immediately agree. I don’t think the situation is anywhere close to what you’re implying.
