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, where Toledo is located, was the last to report its results Tuesday.

The state had earlier declared Bush the winner by 118,775 votes and planned to adjust its totals to reflect the recount later this week.

Reports of the companies responsible for handling the counts in the first place giving cheat sheets to officials to make #s match is "no nevermind" to you of course.
 
Haven't really been paying much attention to this recount, but didn't a large portion of Ohio's vote get cast on modern electronic voting machines which don't leave paper trails?

Not just reports, but VIDEO of the tech admitting that he teaches election officials how to avoid hand recounts. I'll try to dig up the link...

And some-one convienently forgets that those instructions were in counties where the initial recount was not done.

3% recounts were done in "random" precincts in all 88 counties.

Don't forget that in a lot of counties full handcounts weren't allowed even though there WERE changes to the vote total in said 3% recounts, that there was tampering of voting machinery and scanners and that pollbooks were illegally withheld from inspection.

Funny story.... as it turns out:

1. You gota be living in Dumbfvckistan to think that makes what they did OK.

2. You belong in Dumbfvckistan if you think that telling one county something isn't going to trickle down to others where it wasn't directly instructed.

3. Dictionary LAW definition of a Conspiracy: "An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action. "

edit: spelling =p

Oh, and now the poor people who voted of Bushie don't approve of his job...and even less of the job in Iraq. Well good for them.

 
So now that the recount has unofficially (but concretely) come in, are both sides happy that democracy has been properly served? Perhaps we can now put the Ohio issue to rest.

If not it should be.

For most of us it wasn't an issue in the first place.

It's not a joke. What do you find issue with, specifically?

Nothing you wrote seems relevant. You've implied that you still feel that the Ohio state tally was tainted. Why/how so - provide specifics?
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 that every valid vote was counted.

The man who stood to gain the most doesn't seem to share your view?
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.

That's from ABC News. Good work guys. :roll:

I don't have to. There's threads on this topic already. Go look maybe? I guess that's a stretch.

Ohio recount over, shows Bush winning by over 118,000 votes
December 28, 2004

I don't see any threads dealing with the topic of fraud in the recount, especially considering the news of the updated figures is so recent that they've only unofficially been released. Could you point us inquiring minds the right way? Otherwise, consider quitting the dramatizing about some wild conspiracy to keep down the candidate you so badly want to win.
 
My my my... What will the libs do now? Bush is legit - I suppose we can now start the I can't wait for Hillary threads?
