Vote 2004 looks like it was rigged

Attytood has a piece titled George Bush: That One in a Million You about the 2004 election. Will writes:

A team of university statisticians and experts from around the country -- including two from right here in Philadelphia -- has finished looking at why the major national exit poll appeared to show John Kerry winning last November by three percentage points, when the final tally showed that Bush won by 2.5 percent.

Their conclusion? That the odds of such a variation taking place are just under one-million-to-one. Unless, of course, one of two things happened. One of those things would be some factor that caused the exit polls to be inaccurate -- for example, Bush voters being less likely to tell survey takers whom they voted for (heh heh, we could understand that).

Or....the election was rigged.

See, the Republicans are screaming about Terri Schiavo and the Wingnut blogs are harping about the Terri Schiavo talking points memo. Meanwhile, George W. Bush stole two elections and considers it a mandate. I wish I could live long enough to read the history books on this era. It won't be pretty.
