With the emergence of a flood of computer ’glitches’ and questionable results in the Nov 2 election, vote fraud is not just a conspiracy theory, but something all responsible Americans know we must investigate and correct. To suggest that all of the glitches and statistical impossibilities, which always favored Bush, are mere coincidence is idiotic.
