61. Your statement is FALSE.
You write, "There are many reports of vote suppression of various forms (purges, long lines, intimidation, misinformation), but little serious effort to demonstrate that these could have provided Bush's margin or even a substantial proportion of it."

I would call your attention to the Conyers Report. I consider Rep. John Conyers and the report to be serious. For example,

"... we find that there were massive and unprecedented voter irregularities
and anomalies in Ohio. In many cases these irregularities were caused by
intentional misconduct and illegal behavior...."

"... it is imperative that we examine any and all factors that may have
led to voting irregularities and any failure of votes to be properly counted."

If you are claiming this is not a "serious effort" or that it fails to demonstrate
that irregularities made a difference, I must take exception. Simply FALSE.
