That's now. But if there's more and more measured reporting of votes 
going missing, mis-tallies by machines, voters denied their voting 
rights, etc., followed by more detailed analyses of precincts, etc., 
then that might begin to change. Kerry's concession didn't help in 
not pointing to the irregularities.

For starters, there could be tabulations of spoiled votes by precinct.

Hey, learn from the countries that "you guys" are always pointing to 
as undemocratic in their practices :)
