In Ohio recount, Bush's margin narrows

In the latest Ohio recount, spearheaded by Green and Libertarian, Bush's vote margin shrunk by 318 votes, from 118,775 to 118,457. The NYT notes that "the state has become an emblem of continuing ailments in the nation's electoral process, because of Election Day events like seven-hour lines that drove voters away from the polls, malfunctioning machines, poorly trained poll workers who directed people to the wrong polling places and uneven policies about the use of provisional ballots, which were given to voters whose registration was contested." The Washington Post had a better story on this here.

Because the real problems are the for profit corporations that count our votes, the partisan leanings state election heads, and the intimidation and suppression of voters.
