"Who are you going to believe?" That would seem to be the question, as published doubts about the announced "win" of the state of Ohio for
G. W. Bush in the 2004 election mount. The latest doubter is columnist Bob Herbert of The New York Times in today's edition. I make reference to the introduction to the article printed on the web site Raw Story:

Recently, Robert F. Kennedy stirred interest in the subject by writing a well-documented essay on the subject. The Kennedy article and the Herbert column give wide circulation to what statistical experts have long known: the odds of the exit polls in Ohio and other states being in error as dramatically as they were later announced to be are so high as to be virtually impossible.
The question now is since we have the evidence before us, what should a good citizen do? First, I suggest any good citizen would want to tell all his or her friends the news. Second, we should begin a holy agitation to make it clear such shananigans will not be tolerated by the American people. For such stealth can rightly be said to be deviltry. This we must not tolerate.
