Robert Kennedy, Jr.: Kerry Won in 2004

The evidence has been growing since November 2004, and now the case is made by environmental lawyer and son of one of the great names in American political life: in the new Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. writes that the Republicans systematically stole the 2004 election for George Bush. In Ohio alone, enough voters were disenfranchised and enough votes not counted or counted wrong to ensure Bush's election. Otherwise John Kerry would now be president of the U.S. And it would not have even been close.

Indeed, the extent of the GOP's effort to rig the vote shocked even the most experienced observers of American elections. ''Ohio was as dirty an election as America has ever seen,'' Lou Harris, the father of modern political polling, told me.

The indictment of the Republicans and the media establishment that allowed them to get away with stealing this election (after stealing the one before) is relentless and extensive.
