There have been repeated claims in the past two United States Presidential elections (2004 and 2000) of vote-rigging via defective voting machines, mass deletions of registered voters, and other means.

In the 2000 election, George W. Bush was officially elected by a narrow margin (271/538, 50.3%), and in the 2004 presidential election he was officially re-elected by somewhat less narrow margin (286/538, 53.2%). According to many claims, he would have been the clear loser in both cases had the votes been counted correctly.
