1. Ohio

Ohio registered 4 percent of the hotline's total calls. Ohio callers complained of feeling threatened or coerced at the polls more than other states. According to Patusky, the claims of coercion were not high enough to change the ultimate outcome in Ohio.

Bush won because of fear. Most of the votes cast for him were because of a fear of gays and/or a fear of terrorism. The people who are apparently the most fearful of these issues are the ones farthest from them.
