Was this year's presidential election honest? Did more Americans in
more states with more electoral votes really vote for George W. Bush
than for John Kerry?

The answer to both questions is an unambiguous "yes" from the Kerry
campaign, which had 3,600 lawyers on the alert for any Republican
attempts to steal the election -- as many Americans believe happened
in 2000. But were there breakdowns, glitches and weird occurrences
that fed feverish Internet theories of diabolical electoral fraud
perpetrated by the GOP?

There were, and these problems had better be addressed in a forthright
and nonpartisan manner if in 2008 the U.S. electorate wants to think
of itself as being significantly different from Iran's.

Three Democratic congressmen have called for investigations of strange
Election Day goings-on. The lawmakers are right to do so, for the
mechanical and other snafus all seemed to favor President Bush. But
both explanations and corrections have been made in most and maybe all
cases.
