We can't let our votes be stolen! 05.12.2004 21:35 Thank you for running this story on the San Diego protest. The evidence is now overwhelming that electronic fraud on a massive scale, along with voter intimidation tactics, are what gave Bush his so-called victory. Let's get a HUGE crowd for the next rallies on the 9th and 13th. We must protect our democracy!
