Before the vote counting was done, the e-mails started arriving. The election's been stolen! Fraud! John Kerry won! In the following days, these charges flew over the Internet. The basic claim was that the early exit polls -- which showed Kerry ahead of George W. Bush -- were right; the vote tallies were rigged. Could this be? Or have ballot booths with electronic voting machines become the new Grassy Knoll for conspiracy theorists?

Anyone who questioned the integrity of the nation's voting system -- before the election or after -- has had good reason to do so...

5. Fuck CBS!

But you know what? I'm very glad to see that other news media whores (minus Olbermann on MSNBC) are starting to cover this. I also like the fact that the tone of the article doesn't debunk the issue. They're basically saying that there's reason to worry. I like it. So far so good. Keep it up CBS.

7. You Guys realize the Nation is on our side here....

That was a good article, not a bad one...

11. How so? The conclusion is that the election couldn't have been stolen.

Did nobody tell Corn that the Florida and Ohio exit poll numbers were "normed" after the fact to agree with the reported vote count?

Sign of things to come...
I'm feeling more positive now,
Thank you!
