7. Any prominent statisticians make this claim yet? I doubt it

Precisely because human behavior on a vast scale is not measurable with any kind of pinpoint accuracy. There's no way to prove that urban voters didn't switch over to Bush, without relying on polls and assumptions, all of which leave room for doubt. Second, electronic vote theft is extremely difficult to prove without relying on exit polls, which necessarily include the possibility that a difference between the exit polls and the final ballot tally can exist with no foul play.

I'm not saying fraud isn't part of the results, or that election theft isn't very possible--just that these things can't be empirically proven.
