NY Times Trying to Debunk Fraud Theories

The NY Times has a different angle on the possibility of voter fraud in the 2004 Election:

"A preliminary study produced by the Voting Technology Project, a cooperative effort between the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, came to a similar conclusion. Its study found 'no particular patterns' relating to voting systems and the final results of the election.

"'The 'facts' that are being circulated on the Internet,' the study concluded, 'appear to be selectively chosen to make the point.'

"Whether that will ever convince everyone is an open question.

"'I'd give my right arm for Internet rumors of a stolen election to be true,' said David Wade, a spokesman for the Kerry campaign, 'but blogging it doesn't make it so. We can change the future; we can't rewrite the past.'"

We'll see how it all plays out in the next few weeks, I guess.
By the way, if you were to ask me if I think there is even the slightest chance that Kerry will end up being president, I would say no. Not a chance.
However, we still need to count the votes, and to examine any possible problems or irregularities that may have taken place last Tuesday.
