Ustwo, I repeat: how can you know there wasn't electoral fraud?

There was means. The systems could be rigged.

There was motive. The head of diebold stated "I will deliver the state (of Ohio) to President Bush". People spend millions getting their favourate politicans elected.

There was opportunity. If you can get a group of people to fix votes at a voting centre without getting caught, a programmer can reprogram voting machines.

And, as it happens, it isn't possible to determine if there is a body, because the machines don't generate any way to independantly determine if they are committing fraud.

A voting system that cannot prove itself clean and honest is a cancer on democracy.
