Ohio Recount Continues

-snip-
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ohio inched toward a final recount that trimmed a
few hundred votes from President Bush's six-figure margin.

With recount results reported in 85 of 88 counties, Bush picked up
437 votes. Senator John Kerry got an extra 680. That narrowed Bush's
119,000 vote lead by 243 votes, according to an Associated Press
survey of the counties.

Both sides agreed last month the recount wouldn't change the
outcome. Meanwhile, election officials said electronic voting
systems worked as promised in the seven Ohio counties that used it.
Critics were unconvinced.
