32% of Americans "not at all confident" that Bush won 2004 "fair and square"

There's more in this good (and fairly short) article in Esquire, including the news that Obama has a coalition of 5,000 lawyers in Florida alone to fight election fraud. And the news that Rove threatened Michael Connell, the guy who helped set up voting systems in Florida and Ohio and was talking about how he may have helped to compromise the election.

3. I thought it was kind of cool that nearly a third of voters had suspicions

In four years it's gone from a tin-foil-hat kind of thing to an opinion held by a significant number of people. That alone makes me feel much better about this election--if it looks fishy, a third of voters are already primed to assume that something illegal will have happened.

4. Let's give each of the other 68% a giant alarm clock. Maybe that will wake them up
