	U.S. presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the overall result of the election was not challenged by the Kerry campaign, third-party presidential candidates David Cobb and Michael Badnarik obtained a recount in Ohio.
		Election watchers and political analysts forecast a number of contested election results in a manner similar to the Florida voting recount of 2000.
		The election marked the first time an incumbent president was reelected while his political party increased its numbers in both houses of Congress since Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election.

	Information Asymmetries
		The extent that voting is sequential or simultaneous in elections has been the subject of a recent United States Supreme Court decision and a longstanding concern in presidential primaries for the last 20 years.
		If the election is the nomination of a candidate for a later general election, then voter preferences may reflect voters' subjective expected utility from the general election, incorporating the probabilities that a candidate will win the general election along with the candidate's policy position.
		In simultaneous voting elections the assumption is that voters are all exposed to candidates during the same campaign and one candidate is better known to all voters.

	CIA - The World Factbook -- Field Listing - Background
		Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
		Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996 and 2002 presidential elections - as well as the 1999 legislative elections - were widely seen as being flawed.
		Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.

		After the 2000 election, Cal Tech and MIT conducted a study to find that between 1.5 million and 2 million votes were not counted because of confusing paper ballots or faulty equipment.
