"The chances that 2/3 of the vote would show a Democrat lead
of 97044 to 95288 votes, while the remaining 1/3 of the vote on touch
sreens would show a Republican lead of almost 5% .. as a result of
voters randomly choosing to vote by paper ballot or by touch screen
is about 1 in 1 trillion, a true impossibility."

Democracy: What Went Wrong in Ohio, Status Report of the House Judiciary
Committee Democratic Staff, Executive Summary 1/05/05
"We have found numerous, serious election irregularities in
the Ohio presidential election, which resulted in a significant disenfranchisement
of voters. Cumulatively, these irregularities, which affected hundreds
of thousand of votes and voters in Ohio, raise grave doubts regarding
whether it can be said the Ohio electors selected on December 13,
2004, were chosen in a manner that conforms to Ohio law, let alone
federal requirements and constitutional standards."
"This report, therefore, makes three recommendations: (1) ...
there are ample grounds for challenging the electors from the State
of Ohio..."
"...we find that there were massive and unprecedented voter
irregularities and anomalies in Ohio. In many cases these irregularities
were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of
it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair
of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio..."
