Greg Palast makes a compelling case for the notion. There's an lot of supposition in the article, but there's a lot of intrigue, too. It's not beyond belief.

It's good to have someone working the PR side of things. ;)

Voter spoilage is for real. After reading Greg's (and Michael's, and Al's) book, he does make a compellign case that it is mostly minorities that are dissenfrenchised by it, minorities more likely to vote Democrat.
This in my mind made the big difference in 2000. But the scary thing is, just a few days ago, Bush won the popular vote by a - by American standards - landslide of almost 10% more votes. While I am willing to believe Kerry would have wom Ohio, I don't believe in a nationwide minimum 10% spoilage - likely more as not 100% of spoilage could have gone to Kery.
What's legal for one should be legal for the other and Kerry probably should have won on electoral votes. But that doesn't take away that a majority of votes seem to prefer a fascist as their leader...
