RECOUNT

8-10 Questions:
These questions are basically the same as the ones I produced for the "ISSUE 7" assignment
1.) How do the most modern voting machines work, can they be hacked?
2.) I feel like I have seen a more modern version of a movie that isn't "Recount", where the votes are on machines that get hacked... Am I delusional?
3.) Can human error, such as with the un-penetrated votes be trusted in later elections... can we risk trusting machines?
4.) With our growing population, is giving every American citizen over 18 the right to vote going to backfire at all?
5.) How much does one person's vote really count? To my understanding the only votes which count are the electoral votes which are based on majority of state.. not individual.
6.) Pertaining to the question above^ would it be really unnecessary to even go out and vote in a state that is overwhelmingly one party... does your vote really count?
7.) Are the votes from the 2000 election still in physical exisitance?
8.) If so^, has anyone bothered to do the recount on their own just to actually figure out who would have won?
9.) What was Gore's political position after the election? Vice President correct, did he really mind so much?

8-10 Facts:
1.) Around 175,000 of 6 million ballots were recounted in the 200 election.
2.) 20,000 votes were illegally disqualified.
3.) Case Gore v. Harris was a loss in court but repealed in appellate court.
4.) Gore's administration initially called for Recounts of votes in Palm Beach Florida.
5.) Initially the Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide manual recount of the votes by means of 4-3 vote.
6.) Short after when the manual recounts were mid action, the U.S. Supreme court issued a STAY on the recount by 5-4 vote, haulting the election and awarding it to Bush.
7.) December 12th 2000, was the original recount deadline for Florida.
8.) Gore's administration, strategically, used the little time they had to recount on Countys which they believed would have voted for them, this was dubbed unfair.
9.) George W. Bush was originally elected to be President of the United States on November 27th, 2000 but not offically until after the recount dillemna on December 22nd, 2000.
