Bush carries Electoral College after delay
President Bush officially won a second term in the White House after electoral votes from all 50 states were counted Thursday during a joint session of Congress.
There were many democrats that were upset by this, but Kerry is wiser than them apparently.
Kerry released a letter Wednesday saying he would not take part in the protest.
"Our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence that would change the outcome of the election," Kerry said.
Bush carried Ohio by more than 118,000 votes -- the Buckeye State win providing the margin of victory in the Electoral College race. The president received 286 to Kerry's 252 electoral votes.
So Bush is officially the President.
