More than two weeks after Sen. John Kerry conceded defeat and urged national unity, the Internet is still ablaze with accusations and theories about alleged voting irregularities, rigged equipment, machines that counted backward, machines that stopped counting, and all manner of possible mishap from incompetence to corruption and outright fraud. Four in five Americans believe the election was conducted fairly, including two-thirds of all Democrats, according to a poll released Wednesday by Harris Interative. But 16 percent are suspicious of the outcome, with more than one in four Democrats saying it was tilted, deliberately or not, toward President Bush. While Kerry and his top aides have not challenged Bush's re-election, some prominent Democrats are joining the fray. Two days after Kerry's concession, three Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee wrote the head of the Government Accountability Office demanding an urgent investigation of the election. The congressmen cited reports from Ohio, Florida, North Carolina and other states about voting machines that had lost votes, voting machines that had failed to count votes, voting machines that had given extra votes to Bush. But that's tame compared to some of the inflammatory rhetoric on the Internet.

A host of Web sites and bloggers are alleging a conspiracy of massive proportions to ensure Bush's victory. A typical site is "Stolen Election 2004", whose home page begins: "In Election 2000, the Bush regime stole the election and got away with it. Now, in Election 2004, there is new evidence that Bush and the Republicans have stolen the 2004 election by electronic voting fraud in states with E-Voting without paper trails, scrubbing the voter rolls of Democratic voters, and destruction of paper ballots in heavily Democratic areas." The site then invites visitors to "post any evidence of election fraud at our new Stolen Election 2004 Blog," and it provides electronic links to other Web sites making similar allegations.

The Democrats were the ones who screamed the loudest after 2000 to "do away with antiquated paper voting" which,according to them,allowed Bush to "steal the election" then!Now in 2004 they got the e-voting that they demanded and they are screaming "they stole the election with e-voting"!LMAO!

More "sour grapes" from the losers!These people need to get over it and admit,if only to themselves,that the majority of the people(ALL colors,Christians or not,from all walks of life!) of the USA DO NOT AGREE with their ultra-left wing agendas as the election proves!

Wow democrats sure are terrible losers!!! GIVE UP GUYS U LOST!!! TWICE!!!!!

Funny how the extreme left conveniently forgets the voting machines in Philadelphia with a couple thousand mysteriously cast votes. How come they do not demand those to be investigated? In fact, they immediately (without looking into any facts) tried to prevent any investigation. Seems that voter fraud should only be investigated when it suits their cause.

What about the well documented reports of representatives of MoveOn.org that rushed into several polling places throughout my state of Michigan (and by that I mean within 100 feet or less of the voting booths) and intimidated voters until they were thrown out by police? In several cities in Michigan and throughout the country, MoveOn.org wackos attempted to or temporarily succeeded at impersonating the polling workers who check people's voter registration. I doubt these "bloggers" want that to be known.

What about non-profit organizations like the NAACP openly supporting Kerry, in direct violation to federal law that prohibits non-profit organizations from endorsing any political party? Where that outrage?

There are many more examples that I've read or heard of, but unfortunately these leftists either have a very selective memory or are so blinded by hate that they can't think straight.

the internet is not the only places for these stories! CHECK OUT WPKN.ORG it is a radio station in the next state from me i am from NY they have a show called inbetween the lines.
