Political blogs have been theorizing since the November 2 election that the vote was hijacked, that election fraud was rampant. All kinds of conspiracy theories, fueled by supposed evidence, has been sweeping through the Web. And that’s okay, according to New York Times reporter Tom Zeller Jr. In a Times article, Zeller notes:

...while the widely read universe of Web logs was often blamed for the swift propagation of faulty analyses, the blogosphere, as it has come to be known, spread the rumors so fast that experts were soon able to debunk them, rather than allowing them to linger and feed conspiracy theories. Within days of the first rumors of a stolen election, in fact, the most popular theories were being proved wrong—though many were still reluctant to let them go.
