Wait–Bush won?!?
Wait? Bush won the election? How did that happen? Let me present an interesting set of links:

The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.

More than 4,500 votes have been lost in one North Carolina county because officials believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did. Scattered other problems may change results in races around the state. Local officials said UniLect, the maker of the county’s electronic voting system, told them that each storage unit could handle 10,500 votes, but the limit was actually 3,005 votes.

Yeah… voter fraud sucks. I’m with you there.
The problem is that if you add these up, and I bet if you added all the voting frauds in the country up, it still would not be enough to undo Bush’s 3% margin of error. This is why Kerry didn’t challenge any of these cases. Even if he won all of them, Bush still would have won the election, and you just would have had a lot of discontent with the voting system in general.
