Ohio Recount Gives a Smaller Margin to Bush

NY Times

CINCINNATI, Dec. 28 - 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.
