So say Kerry won Ohio - he still would have lost the pop vote by 3m+. When Bush lost the pop vote by 500k and won the electoral vote, we denounced that as an antidemocratic abomination, which it was. But while 500k is virtual tie, a 3m pop vote lead is serious. Would we want to call a Kerry electoral college victory under those circs legitimate?

The fraud & intimidation should be investigated and denounced. But saying "Kerry won" is delusional and hypocritical.
