Galbraith teaches at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the 
University of Texas at Austin. He said today: "The [Ukraine] election was 
stolen. That's not in doubt. Secretary of State Colin Powell admitted it. The 
National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute both 
admitted it. ... In Washington, former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski 
demanded that the results be set aside and a new vote taken, under the eye -- 
no less -- of the United Nations. ... Personally, I don't know whether the 
Ukrainian election was really stolen. ... But if the Ukraine standard were 
applied in Ohio -- as it should be -- then the late lamented U.S. election 
certainly was stolen. In Ohio, the secretary of state in charge of the elections 
process was co-chairman of the Bush campaign in the state. He obstructed the vote 
count systematically -- for instance, by demanding that provisional ballots 
without birth dates on their envelopes be thrown out, even though there is no 
requirement for that in state law. He also required that provisional ballots be 
cast in a voter's home precinct, ensuring that there would be no escape from 
long lines. Republicans fielded thousands of election challengers to Democratic 
precincts, mainly to try to intimidate black voters and to slow down the 
voting process. A recount, demanded and paid for by the Green and Libertarian 
parties, has been stalled in court, so that it won't possibly upset the 
certification of Ohio's electoral votes. In Franklin County, Ohio, there was rampant 
abuse, with voting machines added in Republican precincts and taken away in 
Democratic ones, as documented by the Columbus Dispatch. The result was a crippling 
pileup at the polls; many thousands did not vote because they simply could not 
afford to wait. I witnessed this with my own eyes."
