Peroutka got 135,159 Votes

New data from the Washington Post (free registration required).
I'll crunch the numbers later to get a precise Peroutka percentage, but as Peroutka has added 3000 votes, and I am assuming that much of the increase comes from write-ins being counted, I think that his prcentage should have increased very slightly. (As neither Bush nor Kerry is likely to have received many write-in votes, being on the ballot in all 50 states). I say "many write-in votes" because it is always possible that someone for some reason did decide to write-in the name of a major party candidate even though he was already on the ballot. In an election where over 100 million people participated, there would have to be at least a few whackos.
