Ohio Recount: Bush Still Wins
Channel 5 Cincinnati ^ | 12/28/04

Posted on 12/28/2004 11:45:36 AM PST by freespirited

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Ohio's presidential recount is complete and the final outcome is unchanged: President George W. Bush won.

Democrat John Kerry did shave a few hundred votes off Bush's victory in the state. An Associated Press count of all 88 counties' unofficial totals shows Bush beating Kerry by 118,457 votes.

No one expected the recount to change the winner of the election, but supporters of the process said they wanted to make sure that every vote was counted.

Ohio and its 20 electoral votes tipped the race to Bush when Kerry conceded the morning after the vote. The state declared Bush the winner by 119,000 votes.

"Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has estimated that the recount will end up costing taxpayers $1.5 million."

The GOP needs to bring this to the attention of every voter in Ohio.

Why won't Kerry and his die-hard fanatics also push for recounts in those state that he won by tens of thousands less votes than in Ohio...e.g. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Minnesota?

In states that hanoi john won, I guess it's not important to make sure all the votes are counted

Randi Rhodes, while at entertaining at times, is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Isn't she in Palm Beach County in Florida? Or is it Tampa? Poor girl should join one of those PEST groups down there for a bit of counseling. Maybe she should contact that guy at the Boca Raton News that is always reporting on the Democrat head cases that reside there. If that fails, she can always have Jesse Jackson and John Conyers as guests on her show. That should be good for a few laughs, at best!!!

I think this is equally worse

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.

You better believe this is what the RATS were doing in WA and FL.

Hmmmm? Bush won by 119,000 votes - but after recount (to be sure all the votes were counted), the total for Bush is 118,457 ..?? Looks like ALL THE VOTES WERE COUNTED THE FIRST TIME.

The DUmmies are of course using the results of the recount as their official confirmation that the election was stolen. By their tortured logic, the fact that Kerry only gained 300 votes is utter proof that the recount was rigged.

They have also convinced themselves that the statement by the Kerry lawyer--the one saying the election is over, the one saying Bush-Cheney won and there is nothing in Ohio that could possibly change that, the one saying they see no conspiracy and no fraud--is meaningless because that spokesperson is not the one who filed papers in Ohio. It's Misdirection Strategy on Kerry's part.

Their I BELIEVE thread--where they all profess their undying belief that Kerry will be inaugurated on January 20--still grows. I kid you not.

Although they have great entertainment value, it's really sad to see such a collection of weak-minded goobs on display. They're genuinely pitiful.

She is no longer in Florida. She is now in New York City and is one of the headliners on the Err Amerika radio network. You know - the radio network with Al "I am a fat, but not funny, man" Franken and other liberal wackos. They are up to - what - 40 stations now? Wow! They are truly taking over the world. I live in Washington State (aka USSRW), so Socialist Seattle has one of their stations, naturally. I listen to it every once in a while to see if those folks have begun their trek to reality. I am always disappointed.

Can the good citizens (taxpayers) of Ohio sue the party that demanded this wholly unnecessary and costly recount, and get ALL the money they will have to spend for someone else's mental mast*rbation?
