I can't find the link anymore but last week on NPR a political science professor was pushing his new book wherein he states that the margin of error in a national presidential election in a state the size of Ohio is about 50,000 votes. This essentially means the Ohio Republican Party stole
the election for Bush with help from the much maligned electronic voting machines. This also implies that the margin of victory the various candidates are claiming in the primaries so far are meaningless as they are within the margin of error inherant in our election system that arise from fraud, lost ballots, voter ID requirements, computer error, and human error.
