Dust off the Tin Foil Hat

I have avoided donning my tin foil hat when it comes to election fraud but Zogby pollster Colin Shea is making it difficult. It's easy to cast aside the theories from the left wing media and blogs but this report with lots of statistics is hard not to take seriously.
The facts as I see them now defy all logical explanations save one--massive and systematic vote fraud. We cannot accept the result of the 2004 presidential election as legitimate until these discrepancies are rigorously and completely explained. From the Valerie Plame case to the horrors of Abu Ghraib, George Bush has been reluctant to seek answers and assign accountability when it does not suit his purposes. But this is one time when no American should accept not getting a straight answer. Until then, George Bush is still, and will remain, the �Accidental President' of 2000. One of his many enduring and shameful legacies will be that of seizing power through two illegitimate elections conducted on his brother's watch, and engineering a fundamental corruption at the very heart of the greatest democracy the world has known. We must not permit this to happen again.
It's too late to turn this election around but "We must not permit this to happen again".
