Moore didn't state it. He linked to it.

The real point though, is not whether the election was or was not rigged, for now. It's that blind nationalism without inspection is the death of Democracy.

A democracy that doesn't thoroughly investigate ANY allegation of voter fraud, is a democracy on it's way out.

The entire point of the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) - and it's been proven by things the FOIA has uncovered - is that an uninspected government simply can't be trusted.

If you think the point of a Democracy is to GIVE power to elected officials, you misunderstand the concept at it's core. Functionally, it's there to LIMIT the power of elected officials.
