Election officials finished the presidential recount in Ohio on Tuesday, with the final tally shaving about 300 votes off President Bush's six-figure margin of victory in the state that gave him a second term.
The recount shows Bush winning Ohio by 118,457 votes over John Kerry, according to unofficial results provided to The Associated Press by the 88 counties. Lucas County, home to Toledo, was the last to finish counting.
The state had earlier declared Bush the winner by 118,775 votes and plans to adjust its totals to reflect the recount later this week.
The Kerry campaign supported the recount, but said it did not expect the tally to change the election winner. Supporters of the recount, requested by two minor party candidates, said they wanted to make sure every valid vote was counted.
Ohio and its 20 electoral votes tipped the race to Bush when Kerry conceded the morning after the vote.
Kerry gained 734 more votes in the recount, and Bush picked up 449, mostly from disqualified ballots that were counted in the second tally because hanging chads had come loose when ballots were handled again or rerun through counting machines.
That put Kerry 285 votes closer to Bush. The president's victory margin declined by about three dozen more votes when some counties adjusted their certified vote totals.
The Green and Libertarian party presidential candidates asked for the recount and raised the $113,600 required under state law for the process.
Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has estimated that the recount will end up costing taxpayers $1.5 million.
Witnesses who watched workers count ballots by hand and machine said the effort provided assurance that boards were accurately counting ballots.
BTTT
The title reflects the typical Bush hating sentiment of the DLM (Defeated Liberal Media).
Bush lost 400 votes - but DUH - its still 118,000+ vote margin. That's what I call a CRUSHING victory!
bttt
Cool it.
It's been almost 2 months! Get over it DUmmies! You lost!

It's dead, Mo.
Ummm.. looks like you got your nose cut off instead "genius."
Followup on "Ownershipsociety" aka "Pierce Ambrose" aka Ambrose50@lycos.com.
Heard from him via nasty e-mail today.
Since his nasty e-mail to DU and his behavior to others is in violation of Lycos terms of service, any corroborating information, such as a copy and link to his nasty e-mails, can be sent to Lycos' owner's abuse report addy at abuse@tripod.com
Had thought about making this a separate thread so that anyone who has had a nasty e-mail from him since his banning could chip in, but making a thread just for that would be stupid of me.
So I'm tossing this into the thread I last saw him in before his banning.
As a side note, his behavior violates Lycos' terms of service sections A, F, and W.
Their terms of service page is here: http://info.lycos.com/legal/legal.asp
And their abuse report e-addy is found there as well in section 47 "Violations of Terms and Conditions".
