69. I would say (instead of "lots of evidence), the following:
1. The NEP final exit poll, which was "adjusted" to agree with the official result, assumed that Bush got 43% of the Bush 2000 repeat voters in 2004. But that number adds up to more votes than Bush got in 2004. Ergo, it cannot be right. (--especially since some of them died). Kerry wins every exit poll analysis where the weighting factors are more realistic (including some that favor Bush so much as to be near impossible).

(Note: To quote TIA, above, "Bush 2000 voters could not comprise 43% of the 2004 total,
because 43% of 122.26 is 52.57 million votes. And Bush only got 50.456 million votes.")

2. The TV networks CHANGED the exit polls (which Kerry won) to fit the official result (Bush won) on everybody's TV screens on election day. They made the presumption that the official result was correct and changed the exit polls to make it match up with the official result, using unrealistic weighting factors such as that 43% Bush repeat vote.

3. Exit polls are used worldwide to verify elections and to detect fraud. By changing the exit poll data to fit the official result, the TV networks denied Americans strong evidence of fraud. The people in the Ukraine had the real, undoctored data, the two separate figures--exit polls vs. official result--which didn't agree, and they could plainly see that something was very wrong. Not so Americans. That's why there was no big outcry here, at first. Now we're finding out the truth--and numerous Ph.D.'s in statistics, from top universities are now crying foul on the 2004 election and are calling for investigation.

3. The official result, that this national exit poll was "adjusted" to agree with, was coming from electronic central vote tabulators, run on secret, proprietary software, owned and controlled by major Bush supporters, including one (Diebold CEO) who was the Bush campaign chair in Ohio, and promised in writing to "deliver" Ohio to Bush in 2004.

4. One third of the country voted on these Republican-controlled electronic voting systems with no paper trail. (Non-recountable, non-auditable, non-transparent.). Extensive evidence has been found of significant skews to Bush in electronic voting vs. other methods of voting.

5. Detailed analysis by various top statistics experts points to a Kerry victory with a margin of somewhere between 3% and 10% (not counting massive and illegal vote suppression against Democratic voters, in Ohio and Florida in particular--voters who never got to vote).
