ISSUE 7

Pre-Reading:
1.) Will something invovling a recount ever happen again?
2.) Has it ever happened to any extent before the 200 election?
3.) Did this event question the routes of federalism in our govt. with it's outcome?
4.) How is Gore doing today
5.) Where was the voting found most ineffective, besides Florida.

Facts:
1.) Al Gore fell only 4 electoral votes short of winning the 2000 election via the state of Florida's votes.
2.) Gore's party demanded a call for undervotes found in the voting ballods.
3.) Undervote: A vote where there was no detected vote for a president, probably caused by poor marking or misalligning of the ballod.
4.) After regular court and appeal court the Court's decision was unanimous on not continuing the recount and awarding the presidency to Bush.
5.) Previous Judge Robert H. Bork still to this day believes that if the Supreme Court had acted correctly then Al Gore would have overcame Bush and won the 2000 election, that makes me wonder...

Post Reading:
1.) Which ideas and methods of rule would Gore have brought to the table, how would he have changed the current America if at all.
2.) Did the way people voted (In Florida at least) change to a different method?
3.) When voting, is it now done electronically or do we still do paper ballots?
4.) How much more money did the Gore Administration essentially waste on the fight to win the Presidential race?
5.) Did Bush himself, even after his presidency terms (present day), ever comment on weather he had doubt of his election being leggitimate?
