Or does it mean Kerry lost by 119K, not 136K, meaning he was 17K closer to winning that earlier thought, but still 119K off? I can't tell from the tortured wording.

I think it means that Kerry will have to duplicate the improvement through about six more recounts before they can declare the election "stolen".

Here's the correct way to right the story:

Kerry Lost Ohio by 119K, Official results show


Election board results show that Kerry lost Ohio by slightly less than previously thought. The margin of victory was revised down from 136K to 119K votes, not nearly close enough to trigger a recount.
