(CNSNews.com) - An emerging conspiracy theory among some
political left wingers acccuses Republicans of stealing the 2004
presidential election. While many Americans wonder why Election
Day exit polling was so inaccurate and showed Democrat John
Kerry winning, liberal bloggers and activists insist the exit
polls were correct and that Republican forces used fraud to help
President Bush win re-election on Nov. 2.  But the controversy
isn't confined to bloggers and activists.  Greg Palast, a
contributing editor to Harper's magazine, conducted an
investigation into voter fraud for BBC television's Newsnight.
Palast's assessment is echoed by U.S. Rep. John Conyers
(D-Mich.), five other Democratic congressmen and liberal groups
such as Common Cause and People for the American Way. They are
demanding action on what they see as election fraud in key
states including Ohio and Florida. Conyers has asked the General
Accounting Office to probe the election results and hopes to get
congressional hearings on the subject.
