Barely narrower

The Ohio Recount has been completed, and it dropped Bush’s lead from 118,775 to 118,457 votes. Of course, as the Washington Post points out:

The completion of the recount will not bring an end to questions surrounding the vote in Ohio. A group of voters citing fraud have challenged the election results in the Ohio Supreme Court. The voters, supported by Jesse L. Jackson, have cited irregularities including long lines, a shortage of voting machines in minority precincts and problems with computer equipment.

My understanding is that Congress, or at least Rep Conyers, is still doing some investigation, but if there was election day fraud, I think it’s too late to uncover it.
