The 2000 Presidential Election

The narrow margin that Bush won by triggered a recounting of votes. In many counties in Florida both the state and federal courts presided over the results of the election, and the case eventually reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's litigious decision awarded Florida's electoral votes to George W Bush which enabled him to take the victory against Al Gore. The results of the election showed that “men favored Republican candidate George W. Bush over the Democrat, Al Gore, by 58% to 37% - a 21-point margin. By contrast, women in the same survey favor Gore over Bush by 50% to 42% - an 8-point margin. That swing in support represents a 29-point "gender gap" separating men and women in their vote preference” . As shown in the graph the below, this gap between the genders was the largest difference in the history of elections prior. This could be because Al Gore advocated for a more feminist agenda. He focused on questions that were more likely to appeal to women because of their socioeconomic conditions. Women endure a greater onus for children's education and for their family’s health care. This was reflected on how they aligned because they supported education, health care, and and policy that addressed social concerns in this election. While men are more likely to be head of the household and the main source of income;

This past election has definitely one of the most controversial ones. It brought up many issues with the government, the biggest issue being the role of the electoral college in the election process. Although Donald Trump was elected, due to him losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, the electoral college system has been heavily questioned. Despite arguments that claim the electoral college gives more power to the minority states, the electoral college should be abolished because it diminishes voter turnout, weakens votes, and does not support democracy.

It highlighted the necessary suppression of votes cast in Florida for a Republican victory. It became apparent that Gore would have won if the recounts had continued. The election of 2000 recognized a flaw in the Electoral College: a candidate can win popular vote, and still lose the election because of a lack in electoral votes. Al Gore lost electoral college votes by 537 electoral college votes; to win the presidency, he only required one more vote. The congressional election of 2000 hosted a 50/50 split in the Senate, and lost three seats in the House of Representatives. Democrats were leading in Congress, but when Bush won presidency, a balance between a Democratic Congress and a Republican Executive branch was

There was a very unusual election in 2000. The two running mates were George Bush and Al Gore. At first cnn had declared Al Gore the President of the United States and then later on changed it to George Bush. After a little while later they changed it to too close to call. There was a big controversy on who the President of the United States was, it all came down to Florida.

Although Gore’s personality and Clinton Fatigue may have influenced and impacted some voters, their overall effect was not as substantial as Ralph Nader. When Ralph Nader announced he was running for the presidency in the 2000 election, the Democratic Party was infuriated. They firmly believed that if Nader ran alongside Gore, he would detract votes away from Gore consequently allowing Bush to surge ahead. Many of the campaign managers and other members of the Democratic party informed the people that “a vote for Nader would equal a vote for Bush”.# They also advocated that although Nader was slightly more liberal than Gore, against Bush, Gore would have been the better candidate. Later when Nader won the Green Party’s nomination, considering

The United States presidential election of 1992 was held on November 3, 1992, the three major candidates were Republican George H.W. Bush, Democrat Bill Clinton, and third party Independent Ross Perot. This was one of the most crucial impacts from a third party candidate ever seen in American history. During this time period the public had concern for the federal budget debt, many constitutes of the Democratic and Republican had feared that both Bush and Clinton would lead us into further debt, this allowed multi-millionaire Ross Perot to rise to the rankings. Ross Perot was an industrialist independent who had experience as the head of multiple corporations as well as involvement with public affairs for over thirty years. Perot focused his

Bill Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Arkansas, as William Jefferson Blythe III. (He was the first of the baby boomer generation.) Baby boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964, during the demographic post World War II baby boom. As a high school student in July 1963, he was a delegate to the American Legion Boys Nation, Clinton and met President John F. Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden and was photographed shaking Kennedy’s hand. In 1968, Clinton won a Rhodes scholarship to attend Oxford University in England. The same year, he earns bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. In 1973, earned his law degree from Yale University and took a

Let me start with the candidate Al Gore. Gore made some crucial mistakes that cost him the election in 2000. One of the biggest mistakes then Vice President Gore made was to distance himself from the White House and then say that he was angry at the sitting President in New Hampshire on the campaign trail. This hurt him because people approved of Bill Clinton. His approval ratings were nearing 60% throughout 1999. Al Gore’s next mistake was running a populist left wing campaign when the country was happy will Bill Clinton’s centrist politics. His populist left wing clashed with what the country was facing. The unemployment rate hovered around a 4% throughout 1999 this contradicted everything thing his campaign said economically. Finally

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

Bush versus Gore in the 2000s election, In the year 2000 there's been a interruption with the electoral college ballets. The real question is who won the 2000’s election, things went toe to toe counting the votes. Most of the votes if not all needed to be recounted in the state of florida because of the strictness of the voting policy, one of the incidents that happen was one of the members of Gore’s party was going house to house to check on unregistered voters, one of the major concerns is that most of the unregistered voters couldn't vote because of discrimination. For an example, one of the people from the list was claimed to be an ex-convent but only to find most people on the list is false report. However one important input to the election

There are multiple skeptics behind the 2000 Election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Presently the election was neck-to-neck between both candidates. The results come out and Bush is the winner by 1,784 votes (1). On the other hand, the votes counting machine started to show different numbers and elder citizens believed they selected the wrong candidates in the ballot. Arguably, Bush is in my favor of winning the election fairly. Although the movie, “Recount”, portrayed what really happened and how inequities the court systems are at that time. In fact, every courts in the U.S. was on the Republican side except Florida. As the matter of fact, Florida requested a recount and Bush still won by a margin of 537 votes (1). Since the votes were

The Presidential election of 2000, between George W. Bush and Al Gore was not legitimate. Several disparities when counting the votes among the counties took place. For example, the ballots were difficult to read. The names of the presidential nominees were listed on both sides of the ballots. This made it difficult for older voters to read the ballot. In addition, the holes were not aligned with the names,therefore, it was more difficult to see if people were voting for the correct presidential nominee. According to the movie, when the recount began, some counties were able to count the dimpled chads and other counties did not allow those ballots to count. In the movie, Recount, also pointed out that approximately 20,000 people were

As you may be aware the voting issue that has been debated on whether or not it was honest and fair has been all over the state along with the nation. There have been comments such as Clinton rigging the election to computer glitches and mass conspiracy of the government being biased.

Going back to the year 2000, the inside facts are plenty. The primary elections chose two candidates: the republican George Bush and the Democrat Al George. From the start, this

Presidential elections have taken place every four years for more than two hundred years. This year is no exception. The forerunners in the 2000 elections are Governor George Bush (Republican) and Vice President Al Gore (Democrat). These candidates have strong and different views on many issues such as crime, abortion and energy. Crime is a major concern of all American citizens and has been addressed by the majority of candidates in past elections. Voter.com, a web site designed to keep voters informed on the candidates and their stand points on different issues, state that “Al Gore believes that there is no more fundamental responsibility than to make Americans safer and more secure…in there in their homes, on the sidewalks, and in
