WHAT:

-- Exit polls did not match the reported vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and 7 of 8 other key battleground states

-- Voting machines with secret software owned by private, partisan companies subject to manipulation and which deprived citizens of their right to fair and transparent elections

-- Uncounted and provisional ballots negatively and disproportionately affected African American voters

-- Inexplicable vote disparities

-- Voting Rights Act Violations

-- Recount did not recount all the votes

-- Challenge at January 6 Joint Session of Congress

WHY: To provide full background on key assertions prior to the historic congressional challenge to the 2004 vote.

PARTIAL LIST OF EVIDENCE:

There is clear and compelling evidence that the election was stolen. By examining a very wide range of sworn testimonies from voters, polling officials and others close to the administration of the Nov. 2 election; by statistical analysis of the certified vote by mathematicians, election experts and independent research teams who have conducted detailed studies of the results in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere; from experts who studied the voting machines, tabulators and other electronic equipment on which a fair vote count has depended; and from a team of attorneys and others who have challenged the Ohio results; the freepress.org investigative team has compiled a portrait of an election whose true outcome must be investigated further by the Congress, the media and all Americans -- because it was almost certainly not an honest victory for George W. Bush.
