Lets settle something: Who actually won Florida in the 2000 election, Gore or Bush?
If it weren’t for hanging and pregnant chads then of course Gore would have won. Let us not forget the cronyism of Katherine Harris and the trickery used to thwart certain blacks from voting as well. That’s true but I can’t really tell you the source off hand. For the last seven years I have not recognized the legitimacy of Bush as president and will not honor him as such. There is no honor amongst thieves.
Albert Arnold Gore Jr. was the choice of Florida’s voters — However, regardless of who actually won the most votes, the U.S. Supreme Court installed George W. Bush as the occupant and resident of the White House. According to the certified Florida results, George Walker Bush won the state by 527 votes. But recounts by the Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and the Chicago Tribune Co. collectively show Al Gore picking up 1,617 votes, giving him a winning margin of 1,080 votes. Instead of supporting a full and fair recount, George W. Bush chose to cling to his official lead of 537 votes out of some 6 million cast — George W. Bush counted on his brother Jeb’s state officials, and a corrupt U.S. Supreme Court to ensure the Bush family’s return to national power.
Al Gore Year 2000. George Walker Bush moves to the White House under the most inauspicious of circumstances. He is the first president to lose the national popular vote since 1888, and only the fourth in American history. He won a bare majority in the electoral college, and only because of his contested victory in Florida, where the best evidence suggests that flawed ballot designs, confused voters, and antiquated voting equipment kept the plurality of citizens who intended to support Gore from having their verdict reflected in the official count.
Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris officially certified George W. Bush as the “winner” in Florida by 537 votes. Since that day, independent investigations by the media have revealed that many illegal votes were counted – while many legal votes were not. If the votes in Florida had been counted by non-partisan election officials in compliance with the law, Al Gore would have won Florida. Unfortunately, George Walker Bush, his brother Governor Jeb Bush, Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a partisan Republican majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Republican-owned media did everything in their power to prevent a fair and legal count of the votes. In other words, these Republicans used their enormous power to steal the Presidency of the United States. Indeed, the untold story of Floridagate is as chilling as Watergate. This is a crime against American democracy GOD bless America.
