David Corn examines charges that the Bush forces stole the election in the new Nation. He concludes it's possible but there is no case as of yet. From the Nation's e-mail today:

Nation Washington editor David Corn looks at mounting charges of whether last week's election was stolen by the Bush forces. Corn writes, "Clear away the rhetoric, and what's mainly left are the odd early exit polls (which did show Kerry's lead in Ohio and Florida declining as Election Day went on and which ended up with the current national Bush-Kerry spread), troubling instances of bad electronic voting, and curious--or possibly curious--trends in Florida. This may be the beginning of a case; it is not a case in tself."

Ultimately, Corn concludes that a rigged election is conceivable, ut that "The system ought to be so solid that no one would have cause to even wonder whether an election has been stolen."
