79. Thanks for the link to the Newsweek article.
The way that first paragraph is written, it sounds as though Newsweek is giving itself a kind of "opening" to discuss election fraud in a future issue:

Jan. 10 issue:

"It was a little after 7 p.m. on election night 2004. The network exit polls showed John Kerry leading George Bush in both Florida and Ohio by three points. Kerry's aides were confident that the Democratic candidate would carry these key swings states; Bush had not broken 48 percent in Kerry's recent tracking polls. The aides were a little hesitant to interrupt Kerry as he was fielding satellite TV interviews in a last get-out-the-vote push. Still, the 7 o'clock exit polls were considered to be reasonably reliable. Time to tell the candidate the good news."

It's interesting the way the author focuses on how Kerry appeared to winning through the 7 o'clock exit polls. What does everyone think about this approach? To me it definitely looks like a possible "introduction" to the subject of election fraud.
