Amid Charges of Vote Suppression, Activists Look for Larger Fraud
by Jessica Azulay (bio)

While theories of vote tampering abound, voter advocacy groups are compiling massive lists of ballots uncast or uncounted -- but evidence of fraud actually affecting the 2004 election outcome remains elusive.

Nov 12 - There is little dispute that voters all over the country encountered problems before and while they cast their votes on November 2. Watchdog organizations across the US have compiled hundreds of thousands of complaints. But many are asking whether all the problems add up to a different electoral outcome and whether there were more systemic problems not yet uncovered.

Evidence of Suppression
"There may not have been fighting in the streets, and an election decided by the courts, as some officials feared," said Chellie Pingree, president of the voter advocacy group Common Cause, in a press statement. "But that can't be our standard for a successful election. Voters not included on registration lists, tens of thousands of absentee ballots never received and lines that snake for blocks are just as large impediments to voting as hanging chads, and they must be addressed."

Pingree's organization said it deployed over 1,000 Election Day monitors nationwide, concentrated in Ohio and New Mexico; the group's voter alert line received nearly 200,000 calls and its website recorded 1,700 stories from people filling out a web form.
