65. A lot of people don't seem too bothered by gerrymandering
It's done by both sides and is somewhat of a venerable tradition for in-power parties in this country. I wouldn't call it stealing because no laws are (usually) broken but the net effect is to pre-cook the election. It's functional disenfranchisement and stinks.
Vote Suppression is deplorable and could be considered stealing if it swung the election. That's debatable but I'm far from convinced that it did. Again, you don't need the 'stolen election' metaphor to convince anyone that Ken Blackwell's behavior is immoral and illegal.
