Bush's official margin in Ohio was 118,601, votes which represented 2.11% of the vote. It was the 5th most closely contested state by %. The most closely contested state was Wisconsin, which Kerry won by 0.38% or 11,384 votes.

If Kerry had found 118,602 extra votes in Ohio and Bush had found an extra 11,285 votes in Wisconsin, Bush would still have won the election.
