Maybe we should recount all the states.

Democrat sues secretary of state over Nevada presidential election
A citizen activist has sued Secretary of State Dean Heller, alleging he's withholding election records that could cast doubt on President Bush's 21,000 vote victory over John Kerry in Nevada.
In her suit filed Tuesday in Carson District Court, Patricia Axelrod asks a judge to order Heller and his elections deputy, Ronda Moore, to hand over dozens of pages of documents.
She seeks an explanation for about ten-thousand "undervotes" in the state's two most populous counties, Clark and Washoe. Undervotes are ballots that don't register a vote for a particular candidate.
Heller says all citizens are free to examine the election records at his office, and Axelrod merely filed the suit because she doesn't want to pay a copying fee of a dollar per page.
Heller says Nevada has the lowest rate of undervotes in the nation, and this year's rate was no different statistically than past elections.
