A recount of the presidential election in Ohio that was finished on Tuesday showed that President Bush won the election here by about 300 fewer votes than initially recorded.
The recount of Ohio's 88 counties showed that Senator John Kerry gained 734 votes, with Mr. Bush picking up 449 after elections officials allowed more than 1,100 previously disqualified ballots to be counted in the second tally.
Ohio proved to be the key state for Mr. Bush, who needed its 20 electoral votes to capture the election. Mr. Kerry conceded when Ohio fell into the Republican column but later said he supported the recount.
The state has become an emblem of continuing ailments in the nation's electoral process, because of Election Day events like seven-hour lines that drove voters away from the polls, malfunctioning machines, poorly trained poll workers who directed people to the wrong polling places and uneven policies about the use of provisional ballots, which were given to voters whose registration was contested. The Green and Libertarian Parties asked for the recount and raised $113,600 to help pay for it as required under state law.

Walker was a stud. Then he ran for President.
Ahhh the Kloppenburg loss. If I knew how I would create a gif of that hag schocked to learn that an uncounted box of ballots put the republican over the top. She was so sure they had it all wrapped up.
“I think it is so that these three states can be eliminated altogether from the aggregate electoral count which would then put the witch in the whitehouse. I think they realize they aren’t going to gain any votes, and the only way around it is to get rid of those swing states.”
Wrong. If neither candidate reaches the 270 EV level it is thrown to the House of Representatives which makes the call. The House is controlled by the Republicans and unless they have a death wish they will hand the victory to Trump.
I’m so angry act this recount to be honest. After everything both sides just went though? You have to be kidding. Recount why? They weren’t close at all when compared with FLA 2000.
Team Trump not worried at all about this. I suggest some of you take a chill pill.

A funny thing about recounts, the party that calls for and does the recounting keeps recounting until they get the results they want and then they stop counting. Just look at Al Frankin.
