WaPo: "How to steal an election"

[Amaryllis]

Surprised to see this in WaPo since they wouldn't touch Mark Crispin Miller's book...

How To Steal an Election
It's easier to rig an electronic voting machine than a Las Vegas slot machine, says University of Pennsylvania visiting professor Steve Freeman. That's because Vegas slots are better monitored and regulated than America's voting machines, Freeman writes in a book out in July that argues, among other things, that President Bush may owe his 2004 win to an unfair vote count. We'll wait to read his book before making a judgment about that. But Freeman has assembled comparisons that suggest Americans protect their vices more than they guard their rights, according to data he presented at an October meeting of the American Statistical Association in Philadelphia.

1. Kerry Won....But That's Not Important Now.

2. People should be aware that Washingtonpost.com isn't the same as

the Washington Post.

People like Dan Froomkin aren't directly affiliated with the newspaper.

Froomkin explains this in his chats from time to time that washingtonpost.com exclusive content is actually subcontracted out.

That's why his columns are never in the print edition.

That said, I think this story actually ran in the print edition.

because those of us who get our news online are far more liberal than the TV news audience.
That has been extensively surveyed.
