The evidence proving Bush stole 2000 and 2004 is very solid now and growing.

But let's start with Florida 2000, which was an obvious theft, and the all-important one since Bush would never have been in power in the first place. And shouldn't have been since he lost that election.

In Florida 2000, Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris rigged the entire electorate in the following ways: 57,000 mainly black legal voters scrubbed from the rolls. They classified them as felons or ex-felons but only about 20% of them actually were.
This was deliberate fraud. This item alone stole the election.

I could go on and on about Florida tallying up of thousands of Gore votes which were wiped out, or phony fraudulent Bush votes that appeared after election day, or Gore votes which went for Buchanon, but just read a book about it. Not a single one of the dozens of voting fraud cases benefitted Gore. They all benefitted Bush. 100%, which would mean Gore had about 50,000 votes stolen.

In Ohio 2004 (and other swing states in 2004) hundreds of thousands of Kerry votes were stolen. Let's focus on Ohio though. By even the most conservative Chris Hitchens estimates some 40,000 black voters were illegaly disenfranchised. Maybe you don't care about that but they are just as much US citizens able to vote as you are.

Since Kerry got 90% of the black vote, that almost makes it tie. Then let's look at all the GOP and rightwing religous-controlled precincts where there were more Bush votes than actual voters, where there was a 97% turnout in GOP districts but 7% in democrat precincts (both incredible numbers), where black voters were forced to wait up to 8 hours to vote but GOP voters no wait at all, where more than 100,000 black and voters voters were turned away because of lack of voting machines. here 30% of the provisional ballots (mostly for Kerry) were never counted and thrown out. And this doesn't even include the Diebold scandals. Plus the fact that the normally super-accurate exit polls showed Kery ahead by 4% at the end of the day but that flipped mysteriously during the counting to 4% for Bush, without any logiocal explanation. Some people complained of trying to vote for Kerry but over and over Bush would come up on the machine. Now we know Diebold machines can easily be fixed to reverse results. Hundreds of voting irregularities occured and 100% of them benefitted Bush. And this was a pattern in every swing state except Wisconsin. So Kerry probably won 3-4 other states we well.

HOW AMERICAN ELECTIONS BECAME A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

Part 2 comes at the end of Part 1
In my opinion, Part 2 is more interesting.

Read "How the GOP Stole the 2004 Election". Or "Was the 2004 Election Stolen?" or any of the new books on the subject by people who actually went precinct to precinct gathering solid evidence. In almost every Ohio precinct there was gross hanky-panky by the GOP but none by democrats. In fact it was so bad that the entire election could have been stolen in a single large GOP-dominated precinct.

The main election fraud was perpetrated at black and college student voters, making it very difficult for them to vote at all, then failing to count many of their votes. Ironically the man in charge of disenfranchising blacks was Ken Blackwell, a rightwing black Secretary Of State. Of course this is nothing new in US history. During Jim Crow there were always a few traitors to their race who helped keep blacks down. On the other hand, in rightwing precincts controlled by the religious right, there were sometimes more Bush votes tallied that there were voters in the entire precinct. So the religioous right obviously has no morals or ethics. They cheated big-time. And on and on and on.

BTW: The people of Ohio are so disgusted by all this that the news is Demnocrats are in line to sweep every election in Ohio this year. The GOP betrayed Ohioans by using them in a criminal enterprise and focusing the smear campaigns against Kerry on them. It was dirty politics at its worst.
