TOLEDO, Ohio -- Election officials finished the presidential recount in Ohio on Tuesday, with the final tally shaving about 300 votes off President Bush's margin of victory in the state that gave him a second term.
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, home to Toledo, was the last to finish counting.
The state had earlier declared Bush the winner by 118,775 votes and plans to adjust its totals to reflect the recount later this week.
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 every valid vote was counted.
Kerry gained 734 more votes in the recount, and Bush picked up 449.
The recount will end up costing taxpayers an estimated $1.5 million.

I couldn’t imagine going skydiving with these types of people. Imagine how many tests and inspection would have to be done on something that's keeping them alive? Amazing.
