Although the state's economic situation gave hope to Democrats that Ohio might vote for Senator Kerry, President George W. Bush was victorious, with a slim lead of 2.12% over his challenger.

However, there were many problems with the election process in Ohio, including missing and uncounted votes; machine malfunctions; machine shortages; machine mis-voting; and anomalous statistical discrepancies in vote tabulations, such as more votes than voters. Statistical analysis of the demographic distribution of these problems and how strongly, in the aggregate, they favored one candidate over another, have led some critics, authors, statisticians, politicians, and concerned citizens to suspect coordinated election fraud throughout the state.
