How Did George W. Bush Vs. Al Gore: Who Really Won?

For many political scientists and historians, Nineteen Forty-eight stands as a significant year in American politics. This is due primarily to the 1948 Presidential Election which set the stage for future elections in terms of several key events, components and ultimately, outcomes. It was a presidential election which immediately followed a major war so the voter’s attention and priorities were naturally shifting from national defense issues to domestic issues such as jobs, the economy and various social expectations. With the popularity of radio, the emergence of television, and newspapers the media started to play a larger role and exert a greater influence into the election process. This was also the first election where a third-party

The presidential election of 2000 is the most controversial election in US history and led to a Supreme Court case between the two candidates, George W. Bush and Al Gore. Bush v. Gore has forever tainted the election and the integrity of the Supreme Court.

The Bush v. Gore election was legitimate, although close and scandalous and leans toward Bush to be the winner. Nevertheless, Gore's Florida senior adviser Nick Baldick, and the Republican senior adviser to Katherine Harris, John "Mac" Stipanovich -- that more voters went to the polls in Florida intending to vote for Al Gore than for George Bush. This statement could be due to the fact most of the voters who voted for Pat Buchanan did so by accident and meant to vote for Gore, making a dimpled chad, or voters intent. Bush still lead by .03% of the votes, meaning he had 2.909 million votes while Gore had 2.907 million, making it extremely close. However, Florida’s supreme courts, ruled by Democrats, gave Bush the win and was later solidified

The election of Bush v. Gore is known as one of the most controversial elections of all time, people often speculate the perspective of the election based on the popular vote and the way the candidates presented themselves. Known as the “Endless Election”, the events that took place during in the election led to a huge argument on who really won the election. People like to argue that election was rigged and that Gore should have been the POTUS.

In my opinion, Gore won the election of 2000 if there hadn’t been any interference, had also recounted all the votes, and also counted the 175,000 uncounted ballots. I believe that Gore would of won the election but didn't because of several mistakes and interventions the Republican party had in the election in Florida. One of the tremendous errors was caused by the lady in charge of writing the ballot, she had placed Al Gore’s name next to another candidate causing chaos between the voters who believed that they had voted for the other candidate instead of Al Gore. Therefore, causing Gore to lose votes.Another reason I believe he lost the election was because of the interference Katherine Harris had in the votes. She did this when she

The film recount was a legitimate representation of the United States 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. There is an equal amount of comments constructed from both sides, the democrats and republicans throughout the film. The republicans invested pressure onto Katherine Harris, Florida secretary of state, as she perceived as a villian from Al Gore and his followers. Although Harris could potentially look like she has differentiated motives, throughout the film she follows the rules of law. With Palm Beach not counting dimpled chads, it was stated to cost them around 800 votes from the viewpoint of Al Gore and his campaign managers.

The question on whether Gore or Bush Won is still being talked about today. I lean more towards a Republican’s views but that doesn't mean I think Bush won fairly. It all comes down to a person's morality and judgement in whether they count the dimpled chad or not which they initially should. If Florida's votes were recounted Al Gore would have won with a ratio of 3 to 1. But in the end Bush did an exceptional job as president even if we got a war debt to pay he acted fast and I approved of his

A Bush vs. Gore election, a completely unfair and illegitimate political race. Fighting for the final battle in Florida, winner claim to be the next president of the United States. With Bush’s brother to be the governor, every news station and political of Florida Palm Beach County, in Florida, home to many older and possibly more senile people.

While other parties did also make a comparable difference when looking at Gore vs. Bush in Florida, the Green Party had the greatest influence and lead over other third parties in the election when looking at more hyperbolic claims by Gore-supporting democrats or analytical studies of Florida third party voters, and Nader’s efforts to essentially defeat a corrupt system, along with his appeal to a more liberal America seemed to help aid in this influence. Furthermore, the Green Party’s surmountable 3% of the national vote (2,882,955 total according to 270towin.com) proves that even though the Green Party was unlikely to win the election, it had great prowess among the American people, and was virtually known by most American voters in the

The 20000 presidential election remains and has been described by many as one of the worst scandals of the US democracy (Jacobson and Rosenfeld, 2002). The democratic contestant Albert Gore won a large number of votes than his Republican opponent, but he ended up losing the presidency bid (Montjoy & Slaton, 2005). The result of all this relied greatly on the vote tally in Florida whereby a great figure of voters were denied the vote, confusing butterfly ballots were used, vote recounts were mishandled as well as manipulated. The last verdict regarding the election was made by a 5-4 majority of the unelected U.S Supreme Court that issued a tainted as well as an adherent ruling (Heppermann & Friedman, 2013). The American constitutional structure

The 2000 presidential election is considered one of the most controversial and closet election in American history today. The 5-4 decision made in favor of George W. Bush over Vice president Al Gore was decided by the 537 votes that came from the state of Florida. It took over a month of recounts and challenges to the Supreme Court to come to the determination of the winner. The campaign was dominated by domestic issues in opposition to foreign policy, prescription drug prices, campaign finance reform, social security, and education. Each candidate fought a good battle claiming that their economic plan would reduce the deficit. It had been less than two years since the whole sex scandal issue with Bill Clinton, and so Al Gore refused to allow Clinton to
