For Republicans, the 2004 presidential election was little short of miraculous: Behind in the Electoral College tally in the days leading up to the election, behind even on the very afternoon of the vote, the Bush ticket staged a stunning comeback. The exit polls, usually so reliable, turned out to be wrong by an unprecedented 5 percent in the swing states. Conservatives argued-and the media agreed-that "moral values" had made the difference. In his new book renowned critic and political commentator Mark Crispin Miller argues that it wasn't moral values that swung the election-it was theft. While the greatest body of evidence comes from the key state of Ohio-where the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee found an extraordinary onslaught of Republican-engineered vote suppression, election-day irregularities, old-fashioned intimidation tactics, and illegal counting procedures-similar practices (and occasionally worse ones) were applied in Florida, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and even New York. A huge array of anomalies, improper practices, and blatant violations of the law all, by a truly remarkable coincidence, happened to swing in the Bush ticket's favor.This pattern-not one overwhelming fraud but thousands of little ones-is, in Miller's view, the new Republican electoral strategy. This incendiary new book presents massive documentation that the election was stolen and describes the mind-set, among both the major parties and the media, that could permit it to happen again.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this belated exposé—and clarion call for electoral reform—Miller (The Bush Dyslexicon) accuses George W. Bush and his "theocratic militants" of orchestrating electoral fraud to "hijack" the 2004 presidential race. Miller relies on original reporting, secondary sources and unadulterated outrage to make his case, marshaling evidence (much of it circumstantial) of Democratic voter disenfranchisement, mysterious computer snafus and discrepancies between exit poll results and official vote counts. He is especially critical of the press for what he describes as silence in the face of Bush's and Cheney's denials of fraud. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is another target of Miller's ire, for ignoring warnings of coordinated Republican plans to cheat and for doing nothing to contest the vote counts, especially in swing states Ohio and Florida. "Election-stealing" in Florida in particular presages a dark future for the entire nation: "a system built specifically to disenfranchise an aroused and even militant majority, and to do so without leaving any traces." Though Miller's sometimes unclear sourcing puts the burden on readers to separate fact from hearsay, he gathers enough well-documented evidence that anyone who cares about fair play should find this book revelatory.

With moves straight outta reconstruction hell, our home grown band of respectable national thugs and their sycophants have wrested control of the estate and are preparing to do so for a long period of time. The investigative prof has researched and pulled information from a wide variety of resources including Congressman Conyers report, to expose the scourge. Apparently these folk were prepared, organized, well monied and before the opposing parties knew what happened the nouveaux reconstructionist were off and running, planning and capturing the next election. The grand theft of two elections unfolded in various ways in various locales but it was nation wide. Paid gangs were sent outta Texas to harass and control the population, the motor voter bill was made impotent by the trashing of paper work from legit signees, expatriates paperwork never arrived, on college campuses students were led to believe they were supporting a cause but actually were signed up for the party, or not at all in some cases, voting machines logged in the wrong candidates, along with countless other improprieties and crimes, the list of which would exceed your average report...the madness didn't stop with the pawned...the fourth estate sat by and did nothing while the benefiting corporations made millions calling in political favors, the result of which set the estate back approximately 200 years or maybe further say.... back to the crusades? ....No wonder Mr. Franken has so much fodder for his work...Whatta civics lesson...

Great Coverage of the voter fraud and intimidation in 2004 but what about the software aspect?

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2006

Well, this is a fast read and I expect a fast write! It has come out in a timely fashion
and I found it useful in explaining to my father some of what has gone wrong in this country re: vote-fraud. The anecdotes are excellent, not least in that they cover the whole nation, not just the most outrageously fraudulent vote in the state of Ohio; but I think we need more than outrage at anecdotes to get the terrible touch-screen DRE machines out of this country's system. People on the right will always argue that the republican intimidation
tactics and dirty tricks, while heinously wrong, were within the margin of Bush's victory. In order for voting to be at all fair we must have paper ballot/optical scan machines in case of the need for a recount. Jimmy Carter said the U.S. voting system isn't even good enough to be worth monitoring. I monitored in Albuquerque, NM in 2004 and I have to agree. PS: In my later review of Greg Palast's Armed Madhouse, I decide that the racial and class discrimination, aside from DRE's, was beyond the margin after all. So I raise this one to five stars.

Well written, well documented, scary, hopeful

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2005

How is it that the carefully-researched, meticulously-documented, copiously-footnoted works of Administration critics are dismissed as madness, while the unsupported, categorical rhetoric of Administration supporters is accepted as common wisdom?

Miller is a clear and convincing writer. He's done his homework, and he makes a powerful case, calling the legitimacy of the Bush White House into question. This is a story that has been woefully neglected, even by the 'liberal' arm of the US press. It has been told piecemeal by internet bloggers and non-profit websites. In Europe and New Zealand (!) the story of the election heist of 2004 has been reported by the commercial press, and is common knowledge. But in America, it has been considered slightly loony to question the integrity of our electoral machinery.

'Fooled Again' may just prove to be a turning point for the conventional wisdom. What Miller has done with this book is far more than to document anecdotes of election fraud and put them in perspective. He paints for us a coherent picture that I, for one, have understood for the first time after reading his work. I had been familiar with the economic analysis of right-wing politics - the growing power of multinational corporations, the lobbyists and the PACS, and their dominance in setting our government's agenda. It had seemed to me to be the work of a distant, inaccessible money machine.

Miller adds a psychological perspective, making the actions of the power-grabbers very tangible, comprehensible and real. The subversion of our democracy was planned for decades by people who are not so much evil as afraid, and no more dishonest with us than they are with themselves. If the methods with which they push their agenda seem deceptive, autocratic and draconian, it is because they perceive their situation (and ours) to be desperate.

One weakness of the book is that it focuses exclusively on anecdotal evidence for election theft. There is another half of the story which is told by numerical evidence. The widespread statistical anomalies in the 2004 election provide a context for the anecdotes, so that they cannot be dismissed as isolated aberrations. The statistical story will be told in a forthcoming book by Steve Freeman.

Since November '04, I had been a follower of the internet dialogs about election fraud, and a minor contributor to the statistical analysis. I have found Miller's book to be empowering: He offers us a context in which we might hope to organize a new movement for electoral integrity, setting the system aright before it becomes entrenched.

Every American Voter Should Read This Book

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2006

We have almost entirely lost control over our Government. Our Government in turn is seeking greater and greater controls over us. If you care about the nature of the crimes that have been committed against us all in the last two Presidential elections then this is one of the most compelling books available on the subject. If you care about how to stop this crime from being repeated then Read This Book!
