"We don't know yet what will happen in the rest of Ohio, but Washington County's recount of last month's presidential election has produced the same results as before."

"President Bush won the county again by nearly 5,000 votes. The president received 12,532 votes, while Democrat Kerry's tally was 12,538."

Hmm. Same results as before? Looks like Kerry won by 6 votes, not lost by 5000.

Freudian slip?

Kerry won by 6, not Bush by 5000?

Not that I ever really stopped.

3. I have to assume that was a typo...

I think most reporters can do the rudimentary arithmetic to see that the differnce was not 5,000 votes...That they did not comment on it whatsoever leads me to believe it is a typo...although hte media may be getting better at b*sh math:

12,532
- 12,538
----------
+5,000
