Is Kennedy’s latest “investigative” piece in Rolling Stone enough to make people ignore him? Probably not. Still, with a factually challenged piece on autism and Thimerosal and an unconvincing piece on 2004 election fraud, it should be. The man is a dishonest hack. Maybe he hasn’t always been (I’m not old enough to have a [...]

Apparently, no one noticed that the GAO released a report on e-voting on October 21st. It looks like they confirmed most of the problems that have been noted in other reports by states such as Maryland. Verified Voting has a summary:
Voting System Vulnerabilities Identified by GAO:
•Cast ballots, ballot definition files, memory cards, and audit logs [...]

Miller to Honor Swift Boat Vets’ Group
WASHINGTON - For one night only, it’ll be spitballs and Swift Boats together on the same stage — a who’s who of Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) bashing.
The American Conservative Union on Thursday announced it has tapped Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), D-Ga., to present [...]

Today is Friday, and that means Tamara Hall’s weekly humor current events column is in the paper. Today she is gloating about the election, on the basis of pretty much discredited liberal media conventional wisdom:
November 2, 2004, was a glorious day.
It was the day the moral majority found its voice.
In the end, it was not [...]

I keep seeing this article cited, alleging voter fraud. It’s not impressive:
The State of Florida, for example, publishes a county-by-county record of votes cast and people registered to vote by party affiliation. Net denizen Kathy Dopp compiled the official state information into a table, available at http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm, and noticed something startling.
While the heavily scrutinized [...]

So, maybe the conventional wisdom is wrong? Wouldn’t be the first time. Among the strange things he found:
Among those who think government should do more to solve problems, Bush’s support was up 10 points. I’m not really sure what to make of this, but I guess it means that Bush really is perceived as a [...]

Alan Keyes, paragon of moral virtue:
“I’m supposed to make a call that represents the congratulations toward the triumph of that which I believe ultimately stands for and will stand for a culture evil enough to destroy the very soul and heart of my country,” Keyes said. “I can’t do this, and I will not make [...]

After seeing NTodd list his city’s election results, I thought I’d put up my county’s results
Lincoln county, where I’m registered:
President:
Bush 69.70%
Kerry 27.48%
Governor:
Brown-R 56.10%
Schweitzer-D 39.71%
House:
Rehberg-R 71.66%
Velazquez-D 25.10%
Cyanide Mining:
Yes 55.31%
No 44.69%
Ban Gay Marriage:
Yes 75.83%
No 24.17%
Well then. I didn’t vote on the winning side of any of those races in my county.

Kerry’s going to lose. It’s hard to question that now; Ohio* is simply not trending towards Kerry. Without Ohio, Kerry can at best tie, which is a loss. It looks like we did poor in the Senate too; Daschle looks to be on the losing side.
Montana looks to be not so bad, though. We knew [...]

This silly campaign is almost over. Factcheck.org has a sort of retrospective of lying in the campaign.
Ezra makes an odd case for Kerry over at Pandagon. It’s generally on the right track, though he doesn’t need to accept the silly charge that Kerry is actually a flip flopper, though it strengthens what he’s saying. I’d [...]
