After skimming the math, I'm preliminarily ready to grant the general and vague proposition that there was a problem in some Florida election, but nowhere is there a magic bullet buried in the numbers to tell us which election had a problem. The authors cannot eliminate the proposition that 2004 was correct and 1996/2000 were not. Indeed, they can't, AFAIK, conclusively eliminate the hypothesis that all three counts were flawed, and that in fact none of them are correct.

I missed what you saw. I am prepared to dismiss it all as tinfoil.
