GAO report indicates Bush/Cheney campaign stole the 2004 election through election fraud

[unixronin]

[...] 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.

the problem, i think, is that there *is* no smoking gun here. it's so plausibly deniable it hurts. it may be possible to fan this into a scandal, but it would be nearly impossible to impeach successfully over it.

btw, you don't have to bring the president up on treason charges. all you have to do is bring felony charges.
