And so as the evening progressed on November 2 2004 it was possible to imagine that the vote stealers got to New Mexico and stopped having ensured that by then Bush comfortably had his margin.
However one can also imagine that winning the popular vote for Bush would not be an exact science.
Padding smaller precincts in Republican controlled areas is more likely to be noticed statistically. You cannot steal enough votes in Utah and Wyoming to even make a dent in the popular vote.
Also, importantly, smaller precincts in Republican controlled areas tend to report earlier and so are harder to steal from – to do so you need to steal in more places earlier.
And smaller precincts also show considerably less scope for padding. A 100 vote precinct may tolerate 10 padded votes. A 100,000 strong precinct might be able to see 10,000 votes added without setting off alarm bells.
In which case the thesis which emerges from Michael Collins' Urban Legend is simply this.
The 2004 election stealers stole the election in the cities because that was the only place they could steal it.
The Next Manchurian Candidate – The 2008 Primaries
Since 2003 and exposure of the flawed election machinery there have been two U.S. Federal elections, the presidential race in 2004, and the 2006 mid-term elections.
Concerns over the 2002 mid-term elections - particularly in Georgia - gave rise to the investigation that led to the 2003 discoveries.
We also know - thanks to Bev Harris and her team - "Diebold Memos Disclose Florida 2000 E-Voting Fraud" that there is prima facie evidence of tampering in the 2000 election.
This means the results in the last four U.S. Federal Elections are questionable. Consequently the composition of all branches of Government have to be in question.
Moreover election stealing need not necessarily be confined to Federal elections.
And following that vein of thought there is one other particularly valuable opportunity to intervene in the US election process and alter the course of history.
The Presidential primaries.
