Robert
F. Kennedy Jr. and ROLLING STONE spent four months investigating
the 2004 election in Ohio. To assemble a conservative estimate of the number of voters in the state who were prevented from casting ballots
or did not have their votes counted, we interviewed dozens of election officials, pollsters, candidates, voter advocates and
political scientists, and reviewed reports by federal officials, statisticians, voter advocates and journalists.
Kennedy is president of Waterkeeper Alliance
and writes frequently about issues affecting American democracy. His story ''Deadly Immunity'' appeared in RS 977/978. Additional
research and reporting for this piece were provided by contributing editor Tim
Dickinson, who covers politics for ROLLING STONE, and writes National Affairs Daily, where he will be exploring the article in greater depth in the coming days.
Below is a list of sources and additional
