There is also a chance that in bush' second election that there were some genuine problems

  • 54% of votes discarded in Florida were African americans

  • in the same election, Ohio made it harder and less accessible for African Americans and poor communities to vote too.

While these were ultimately rejected by the republican congress at the time. It does not change the fact that Bush only won the popular vote by 0.7%.

Also in 2004 Bush artificially raised the terror alert level just before the election.

Yep. Which is even more infuriating because the entire war was based on a lie.
