88. "proof" is a red herring
No crime could ever be solved if investigators had to have proof before an investigation could be considered or intitiated. Of course there is no proof up to the standard you are asking for at this point. There could not be.
Even should a Republican operative go to the press tomorrow and say that he had been paid to steal votes for Bush it is likely that the right wingers would be able to spin that out of existence as they did the proof from Edmonds, Clarke, O'Neil and Wilson. In each case, and with this case of potential election theft, there is more than sufficient evidence to call for a full scale investigation for the purpose of discovering the proof that would hold up in court - if such proof does in fact exist.
If the police were constrained from questioning suspects until and unless they had "proof" how would they ever solve a crime?
