Greg Palast has written another review of the election, highlighting our need for election reform. It's title Kerry Won. . .

Drawing on what happened in Florida and studies of elections past, Palast argues that if Ohio’s discarded ballots were counted, Kerry would have won the state. Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports there are a total of 247,672 votes not counted in Ohio, if you add the 92,672 discarded votes plus the 155,000 provisional ballots.

Don't discard Palast's views as simple "fringe media" ranting. He wrote about the 2000 election for the BBC and framed what has become the view in most of the rest of the world; our election system is actually inferior to the other democracies.
