The trouble is that this kind of reports has been cropping up for long time, even back so in 2000 fiasco. The real sad thing is that nobody has seriously taken a effort to actually do something about the holes in the voting system.

So on one hand, it's just more of 'business as usual' and ultimately will be inconsequential just as 2000 election was. Bush was declared the winner and remained so even in face of charges and allegations. On the other hand, even if there were active rigging, I'd be more inclined to say that both sides are guilty as I've seen stories supporting and lambasting both sides. It's kind like trying to tack blame on a member who's just carrying out the orders of a cartel.

There's also one more question. Has there been ever an election in past where last-minute flip happened and turned certain victory into certain defeat? I'm thinking no but that's just me guessing.
