Four More Years to Finally Get It Right    Story Here  Archive
Steven Levy Newsweek 28 November 2004
Dec. 6 issue - Almost a month after the presidential election, I'm still getting missives from people who insist that things don't smell right.

Others are more sweeping, like the charges that e-voting peculiarities could have somehow lost Kerry 260,000 votes in Florida. Not all of these people charge fraud, but clearly many believe the worst. And if they go to the popular blackboxvoting.org site, a headline assures them it's ok to say the f-word.
