NEWARK -- Halfway between the presidential elections of 2004 and 2008, some local residents say they fear problems that affected the outcome of the last vote could recur in two years.
In particular, they cite problems in Ohio in 2004 and Florida in 2000 that they believe propelled George W. Bush into the White House when the job should have gone to his opponent.
Steven Freeman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, discussed his new book challenging the results of the 2004 elections with about 25 area residents Thursday night. He said he found discrepancies between exit polls and actual results that point to fraud.
(Poster's comment: I know, I know... but 25 is better than none and at least it got local newspaper coverage citing the book.) snip...
Chris Exelby, 57, of Newark, and her daughter Anne Exelby, 24, of Wilmington, said they think the topic is important to address in future elections.
"We're masochists," Anne Exelby said. "It's one more thing to go home depressed about."
