There have been repeated claims of election-rigging via defective voting machines in recent US elections, most notably the 2000 presidential election in which George W. Bush was elected by a narrow margin (271/538, 50.3%) and the 2004 presidential election in which he was re-elected by somewhat less narrow margin (286/538, 53.2%).

2000 Election
- "Although it was reported -- in The New York Times, no less -- that Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush in a statewide recount of Florida "no matter what standard was chosen to judge voter intent," most Americans don't know to this day that Gore actually won the 2000 election. The reason is a small percentage of Republican spin and a large percentage of journalistic cowardice in the mainstream media following 9/11.
