Everyone knows it, but not many politicians or mainstream journalists are willing to talk about it,

for fear of sounding conspiracy-minded: There is a substantial chance that the result of this year's presidential election will be suspect.

When I say that the result will be suspect, I don't mean that the election will, in fact, have been stolen. I mean that there will be sufficient uncertainty about the honesty of the vote count such that much of the world and many Americans will have serious doubts.

How might the election result be suspect? Well, to take only one of several possibilities, suppose that Florida -- where recent polls give Senator John Kerry the lead -- once again swings the election to President George W. Bush.
