7. Too many mistakes.
"The recounts by the Libertarian and Green parties in Ohio and by the Ralph Nader campaign in New Hampshire are not being covered by the commercial news media, despite being under way for more than two weeks."
"In New Hampshire, we'll learn if voting equipment manufactured by corporations openly in Mr. Bush's camp gave him a bonus."
Over.

"In Franklin County, Ohio, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, a Bush campaign official, distributed voting machines so that Republicans could vote efficiently while ensuring that Democrats had to give up hours of their time waiting in line because of a shortage of voting machines in their districts, thus reintroducing a poll tax that the Constitution forbids. "
He has no control over voting machine distribution.
And a poll tax is not a tax at the polls; it's a head-tax, a fixed amount per person.

"All of these "glitches" and "irregularities" nationwide and not one improperly credited vote to Mr. Kerry?"
You find what you look for.

"According to a post-election Harris Poll, 38 percent of Democrats and 37 percent of people who are not enrolled in either of the two major parties believe there were either "some" or "many" attempts at unlawful vote suppression."
That's not really what the wording said, was it?

When you make claims like that, you have to be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion. Poll tax, indeed.
