In a random sampling of the votes, yes. Statistically then we could conclude from that it is highly probable that Kerry would have gained an average of 2.83 votes for Bush's 1 in a total recount. So using that theory, it does evidence that the outcome of the election would have changed. Whether or not Bush committed a crime is another matter.
