Rolling Stone Magazine, the rock-and-roll publication read widely by teenagers and mainstream rock fans, has published a lengthly article questioning the validity of the 2004 election. This has to be the widest, most mainstream venue for a question that has been percolating among computer scientists, election watchers, and yes conspiracy theorists since the election results came in.

One of the strangest anomolies of the 2004 election in Ohio is that exit polling indicated the Kerry won the Ohio presidential contest and therefore the U.S. presidency. These exit polls have been correct in predicting presidential elections for the last 30 years.

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) published a report in Jan. 2005 detailing the election tactics used by Republicans in that state to manipulate the vote and surpress turnout of Democratic voters. Titled "Preserving Democracy: What Went Wrong in Ohio," the 100-page report can be found here:
