Ruy inadvertently proved the 2004 fraud - without meaning to - by showing that Bush dramatically improved on his 2000 vote share in Democratic Urban areas, but not in rural GOP locations. THAT IS A COUNTER-INTUITIVE URBAN LEGEND.

Texeira missed the forest for the trees. Like the major media, he assumed that the 1988-2004 exit polls were ALL wrong and that the recorded vote counts were correct.

In other words, no fraud. Just move right along. Nothing to see here.

But at least Michael Collins (autorank) and anaxarchos did a full analysis:
