[...] But the GAO report now confirms that electronic voting machines as deployed in 2004 were in fact perfectly engineered to allow a very small number of partisans with minimal computer skills and equipment to shift enough votes to put George W. Bush back in the White House.

Given the growing body of evidence, it appears increasingly clear that's exactly what happened.

The report indicates that Diebold and Triad electronic voting machines were probably exploited to steal as many as four states (Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico) for the Bush/Cheney campaign.  The article particularly notes that the Ohio election was conducted under the auspices of the Ohio Secretary of State who was at the same time working as co-chair of the Bush/Cheney campaign.  The conflict of interest here is clear, obvious, and inexcusable.
