Suppose Hurricane Katrina had hit the Gulf Coast *exactly* one year earlier, making landfall on August 29th, 2004, rather than August 29th, 2005.  Keep in mind, the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC began on August *30th*, just one day later.  Would the government's response have been any different in this situation?  Would it swing the election to Kerry?


Some people hold that the statewide vote in Ohio was rigged and thus utterly unreliable. Kenneth Blackwell promised that he could "deliver" Ohio -- and he did -- with little conventional campaigning.

Bush's black support falls --- costing him Ohio, and the Presidency.

Bush had Black support?

He won like 17% of Ohio Blacks.

How much of that vote was genuine, and how much was from tampering with voting devices?
