The thing that bothers me about the way this has played out is that the burden of proof seems to be entirely on those who question the results... a lot of us. All the Salon piece really proves is that we have a battle of experts. Some staticians say <I>this</I>. Other statisticians say <I>that</I>. That's par for the course. What is tragic about the way both the mainstream media and the "progressive" blogosphere have handled this issue is that they are not treating contradictory claims equally. It allows people like Armando to <A HREF="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2006/6/2/114112/7902/422#c422" REL="nofollow">say</A>, for instance, that all of RFK's evidence was "debunked as FRAUD." No, it hasn't been debunked. Much of it has been disputed, which is entirely different. Silencing debate is as sure a way to kill democracy as stealing elections.Curmudgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909592581165744084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28275022.post-1149459896547552542006-06-04T18:24:00.000-04:002006-06-04T18:24:00.000-04:00Kos loses credibility when he fails to address the...Kos loses credibility when he fails to address the election fraud issue. That's why I didn't buy his book. <BR/><BR/>The Salon article is an out an out slam. There is a point in the issue of removing people who haven't voted in two consecutive national elections. In NY State this is on the books, but they don't do it. I'd like to know in Ohio if they removed the Republicans who didn't vote. In any case, people who want to vote, who are eligible to vote, should be allowed to vote. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughtful piece AND for pointing out some problems with dear Kos.
