I lived through Watergate, and I remember the poo-pooing of the initial charge, but as evidence gradually grew, through the hard work of those who refused to be rolled, the whole story gradually came out; then came the tidal wave of evidence resulting in Nixon's resignation in disgrace.

I see those of us who continue to seek evidence of fraud as the truth-seekers--citizens who refuse to be rolled. We're not accepting half-answers. We know that something was terribly wrong in the conduct of the 2004 election, and we won't stop until all the facts are on the table. That voter turn out should be so large; that people were willing to stand in long lines, under harsh conditions in order to vote, just doesn't compute with casting a vote for the incumbent.

I think the original Exit polls were correct. Consider that in uncontested states with little to no electronic voting machines, the Exit Polls were within a percentage point or two of the final vote Tally. Only in battleground states, which used a high percentage of electronic voting machines, were there large discrepancies between Exit Polls and the final vote Tally--and all those discrepancies favored Bush.
