The New York Times has a good piece on the whole "stolen election" thing today. It's worth the read. It is a little better than the "conspiracy nuts" piece in yesterday's Washington Post (lost link but here is an interesting Post article from today). What neither the Times nor the Post really address is THE issue to come out of this whole thing: it's time for a more reliable, easy to use, easy to track, hard copy electoral system so that we don't have to have this sort of theory spring up in every election.

I agree that the press isn't picking up on the important aspect of the vote investigation. They only care about the story if it sounds like a good movie script, otherwise the sleepy public just rolls over. As I said im a previous post, the reason to investigate the election is not to determine if Kerry could possibly have won. The point is to document and publicize the problems and pitfalls affecting the current electronic voting systems in order to improve the validity, reliability, and public confidence in future elections.
