Bush Wins Ohio.....Officially

Ohio Secretary of State Thomas Blackwell finally certified the results of the state's presidential vote. President Bush wound up defeating John Kerry by 118,775 votes. According to published reports, the Democratic National Committee said it would begin a "comprehensive investigative study" of many of Ohio's election practices. The DNC said the review is not intended to contest the election results, but is designed to make sure that every eligible voter was able to vote and that every vote is counted. The state Democratic party welcomed that review.
