The way this write wrote it:

"Bush's margin of victory in the state that put him over the top in his re-election bid will be about 119,000 votes smaller than the unofficial margin of 136,000, the county election board figures showed. That means Kerry drew closer by about 17,000 votes. "

The way a competent writer might have put it:

President Bush's margin of victory will be about 119,000 votes. That is about 17,000 votes closer the the unofficial margin of 136,000 votes before provisional and overseas absentee votes were counted.
