One reassuring thing: Virginia is probably too far gone for the "move the election day" trick to make a difference, and even if they manage to steal the election in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and Colorado, the map would still look like this:

The other thing: Obama is a lawyer. And unlike Gore, they're prepared for a fight.
But don't kid yourself: every vote in this election is going to be needed. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Republican vote-stealing tactics. For a run-down of all the dirty tricks they have going - and the millions of voters they plan to disenfranchise - read this article in Rolling Stone.
The scary thing? Exit polls showed Kerry winning over Bush by 3%. But Bush won by 2.5%. That portends a good chance that Republicans were able to steal nearly 6% of the vote. This year they've intensified their efforts, and so with all the Republican vote stealing plans in the works, Obama's 6% lead may not be enough to make this more than a very very very close tie.
