NEW YORK - A lengthy investigation of balloting in the pivotal state of Ohio in the 2004 presidential election has resulted in a story by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in the forthcoming issue of the magazine -- posted on its Web site today.
The article, sure to provoke much media play and pro and con reactions, is titled, "Was the 2004 Election Stolen?" with the deck, "Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House."
After detailing, with footnotes, alleged rigging of votes for Bush in some areas, and deliberate vote suppression in pro-Kerry precincts, Kennedy charges that "instead of investigating allegations of wrongdoing, the press has simply accepted the result as valid."
An editorial in the same issue calls for an official probe of electronic voting machines.
