His point was not that this is proof of fraud. His point was that this is fishy. And given other voting irregularities in Florida, it's a point worth bringing up. And I think he was right in that respect. It has nothing to do with understanding voting patterns. Patterns come and go.
I voted for Bush, and I think he clearly won the election, but that doesn't mean we should forget about all these apparent problems. We should weed them out now when they don't matter as much as they might in a later election.
I take this back. I don't think he clearly won (Ohio that is). In fact, I think he probably lost.
