  Irish presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But party leader Pat Rabbitte appeared less committed in a television interview in November 2003, pointing out that all its attentions were focused on the two Irish elections already guaranteed in 2004, the European elections and the local elections to be held on 11 June.
Following her defeat in the European Parliament election of June 2004, 1997 candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon indicated that she might also run as an independent presidential candidate on a platform of opposition to the adoption of the proposed European Union constitution.
She initially attempted to repeat her 1997 strategy of seeking nominations from four county councils, and approached all the county councils in the country but was rebuffed.

 30th Irish general election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 30th Irish General Election will be held in 2006 or 2007, after the dissolution of the 29th Dáil by the President, at the request of the Taoiseach.
The selection of the election date could also be influenced by opinion polls and indications of the level of public support for the current governing coalition.
This election is expected to be a clear contest between the current Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition and a possible "Rainbow" government of Fine Gael-Labour-Green, possibly with Sinn Féin holding the balance of power.

 2004 Election - Surveys&Analyses
That's because the 2004 election may have finally stripped exit polling of its reputation as the crown jewel of political surveys, somehow immune from the myriad problems that affect telephone polls and other types of public opinion surveys.
The presidential campaign was coming to a close in an epic cacophony of advertisements striking notes of hope and fear, patriotism and betrayal as the candidates headed Sunday into a two-day sprint to sway an electorate that remained stubbornly deadlocked.
In a presidential race whose outcome is expected to hang on turnout at the polls, an army of interest groups is pumping at least $350 million into get-out-the-vote campaigns that are rewriting the tactics of elections.

 2004 election should be 'wake-up' to Democrats, says Flynn | The-Tidings.com
Moral values were much more important to Catholic voters in the presidential election than anyone --- especially the Democrats --- realized, and the Democrats' "short-sighted" view on church-state separation will cost them again if they continue to allow the Republicans to define and dominate the "morality" debate.
Such is the post-2004 election perspective of a lifelong Democrat --- Ray Flynn, the former mayor of Boston and former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican under President Bill Clinton.
This election should be a wakeup call to the Democrats that moral values are a very real issue where Catholic voters are concerned.

An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of the two largest companies, E S and S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.
Perhaps this may help explain why, for the second Presidential election in a row, a Democratic bandwagon was derailed early on Election Night by an unusual television appearance by the Bush Family, after exit polls showed them losing in key battleground states.
Prima facie evidence that this year’s American Presidential Election was fixed can be found in the recent statements by numerous computer security experts that it could have been.

The most obvious one is the one I alluded to above, where the latest election has left 48% of the nation with a president they do not like, do not trust, and whose personal beliefs make it impossible for him to represent the views of many of the very citizens he is supposed to lead.
Another flaw with plurality voting, although this one did not cause any problems in the latest presidential election, is that the method can result in the election of a candidate whom almost two-thirds of voters detest.
Judging by the comments immediately after the election, the majority of Democrat and Republican voters were strongly opposed to Reform Party candidate Ventura moving into the Governor's mansion.
