Another stolen election imminent? [View all]

Hello, all. I've been a DU member since 2001, but I'm new to this group (and I'm happy to be here).
My question is, what would any of you say is the possibility/probability that this election will be stolen? Some websites (e.g., BradBlog) are adamant that it will be and I wanted to find out if that's really the case. Or at least get a feel for it. I know about Rove's "tech guru" Mike Connell, what Connell did to perpetrate election fraud in 2004 (under Rove's direction), and what happened to him in 2008, and so I've been really obsessing about slimy Rove pulling something. Since he is heavily involved in this election, I can't help feeling deeply apprehensive about its outcome. Would he try it again, or might he desist because others are onto his previous machinations and too much danger of discovery would be involved?
I do wonder, given the neocons' hatred of all things Dem, how Barack Obama won in 2008. I'm guessing Rove was not involved, since our guy won the race.
Comments/ideas?
