The Most Important Election Ever

It doesn’t take a political expert to see that the 2000 presidential election between Bush and Gore was extremely illegitimate. This can be observed through the recount incident which took place in the state of Florida. Many people, especially seniors, felt that they had not voted for the right candidate, which was due to a confusing ballot setup. The ballots were called “butterfly ballots”. These ballots, as one could imagine, had candidates on either side which the voter could choose from. Seems simple enough, right? Unfortunately, that was not the case. The font on the ballots were extremely minuscule, as well as condensed. To add to that, the voter had to use a pin to make a puncture next to their selection. Some people, who were either

The 1980 presidential election of the United States featured three primary candidates, Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat Jimmy Carter and liberal Republican John Anderson. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California before he decided to run for the presidency. John Anderson was a representative in Illinois and Carter was the incumbent. The lengthy Iran hostage crisis sharpened public opinions by the beginning of the election season. In the 1970s, the United States were experiencing a straining episode of low economic growth, high price increases and interest rates and an irregular energy crisis. The sense of discomfort in both domestic and foreign affairs in the nation were heading downward, this added to the downward spiral that was already going on. Between Carter, Anderson and Reagan, the general election campaign of the 1980s seemed more concerned with shadowboxing around political issues rather than a serious discussion of the issues that concerned voters.

The United States Presidential elections are often events that captivate and interest a number of people around the world. The 2000 U.S. presidential election was particularly notable for more than one reason. Certainly, the fact that an election year in the year 2000, the marking of the next millennium and next century, is significant in of itself. In addition, there were a number of critical issues facing the candidates in this election, as with any election. The role, presence, and influence of the United States media were additional factors that heightened the tension of the 2000 presidential election. The election itself was fraught with controversy. The Supreme Court had to be involved and render a ruling with respect to accusation of fraudulent vote counting. Overall, the 2000 United States Presidential Election is an election that is remembered for controversy, polarization of the American public, as well as issues of confusion and mistrust between the American public and the American government.

The presidential election of 1800 was between President John Adams and Vice-President Thomas Jefferson. Adams, the incumbent, was running for his second term after beating Jefferson four years prior. The importance of this election is not that Jefferson winning, but it is Adams losing. During this time period, democracy was not prevalent in the world as now, so the peaceful change of power was a huge step to American democracy and to democracy around the world. James Roger Sharp argues that the election of 1800 is the most important election because of which a president was set by President John Adams. Washington, the first president of the country ran two terms then leaving the white house deciding not to run for a third term, which was

Many people may be questioning on what I have to propose with elections coming up in 2018, running for the Republican party has many positive aspects towards Health Care services and providers for the people of every generation. I will succeed with this plan that everyone would enjoy. We want to make a huge change in health care that will help many out and will be affordable for everyone. Being the oldest political party, many citizens would love to hear what we have to offer since we have seen and done everything. Many Republican states, for example Alaska, Idaho and Kansas will vote for our policy proposal because our view is based off of affordable, accessible and  high quality health insurance that will promise the Americans  the

How would you feel if your vote essentially counted for nothing in a general election, especially if that election was for President of the United States? Well it appears to be that way with the way electors are the number one most important group of voters in any presidential election. In America, a national popular vote would clearly prevent problems such as fraud in the Electoral College. In our Nation’s history, there have been countless stories of backroom deals and fraudulent voting. Thereis a long and colorful history of botched elections and ignorance of the people’s choices in and for the highest elected official in our country. The Electoral College of United states is in dire need of reform. The people of our great nation need a say in the system that makes us the most American. Our right to pick our representatives. There is no excuse for the massive amount of mistakes that are made election after election. As a nation, the people must take action to change the system.

Presidential election cycles are always three-ring circuses, and the 2000 election has become one of the biggest circuses ever. With a two-term president unable to seek re-election, the House of Representatives clearly up for grabs, and Democrats counting on major Senate gains -- even hoping to win control -- there is a lot at stake in this year's elections. Republicans' optimism is based on their view that they will take back the White House after an eight-year hiatus. GOP insiders believe that Americans are tired of Bill Clinton, have doubts about Vice President Al Gore and are ready for change. Republican turnout was down in 1998, which helps account for the party's poor showing in the off-year

I believe that the Presidential Election of 2000, between G.W. Bush and Al Gore was legitimately counterfactual. The numerous votes that the two canidates had, were fallacious. Al Gore could've won this presidential election if the recounts of the ballots were not repeatedly kept on hold. Although, G.W. Bush and his family were powerful. In my opinion, Bush bamboozled his way in and through out this election. Others who disagree and say this was a legitimate election that Bush supposedly won "fair and sqaure." Bush also did have connections with all sort of popular and recognized people. Which this theory could've interfered with the recount in the state of Florida. In all matters, no one really knows who won this election.

The controversial election of 2000 between George Bush and Al Gore was too close to determine a winner. With a margin of victory that minimal; a mandatory recount was required. The winner of the election hinged on the state of Florida, therefore a recount was done in the state of Florida to signify a winner. After the recount was finished, the outcome was Bush. The democrats pushed for a national recount; but the decision wasn’t in their favor. I believe the election of 2000 was not legitimate because the numbers show otherwise. If a national hand recount were to be sanctioned, the numbers indicate that Gore would have overturned the ruling and came out on top. Sadly, Gore never requested a statewide recount, and the recount in Florida favored

With arguably the most controversial presidential election at bay, one of the most analyzed topics is immigration, specifically in regard to the 11 million people that are illegally living in the United States. In the discussion on immigration I reside on the right side of the continuum but I am more in the middle of the right side. My initial position regarding immigration involved me agreeing that we should deport the illegal immigrants unless they had been here for a long period of time; such as 10 years or more. I feel that for an illegal immigrant to have lived here for that long then they would not have done anything significantly wrong because if they would have done so then they would have been caught and deported. I also feel that illegal in any context is wrong, therefore the individuals who have committed these crimes should be dealt with accordingly. At the same time, I also feel that disrupting a family’s life is also out of line even if they went about the whole process illegally. This debate is difficult to pick apart and I personally struggled finding out what I truly supported or didn’t, I continuously contradicted myself. My initial position stands for the deportation of illegal immigrants but by taking a humanitarian perspective about it.

The election of 2000 was one of the most controversial elections ever. George W. Bush, the Republican nominee, beat the Democratic nominee Al Gore Jr. in an election that saw Gore carry the popular vote but not the Electoral College. Much has been said about Green Party nominee Ralph Nader playing the spoiler in the election. However, in an election that was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, hanging chads, and partisan politics, blaming Nader seems unfair. Should Gore have distanced himself from a popular president? Probably not. Did Nader running take away votes from Gore? Of course. That doesn’t necessarily mean everyone who voted for Nader was going to vote for Gore. The truth is no one knows what would have happened if Nader had

The 2016 election is one of the most controversial Presidential races the United States has seen. One reason for this is the increased polarity of the country towards a specific political party. However, members of the parties may not all support the same candidate.For example, Donald Trump has been denounced for “insufficient conservatism” by members of his own party (Breitbart 1). Yet he is still running on the Republican ticket and will receive the votes of the majority of Republicans, simply because he is the Republican candidate, even though many Republicans (leaders and voters) do not support him.

While Americans argue over immigration, which will be a major topic of debate during the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election, a widening number of Americans are quietly emigrating to other countries. A recent online poll conducted by TrasferWise, a peer-to-peer funds transfer service headquartered in the United Kingdom, shows that 35 percent of Americans are considering leaving the country, in the meantime, a record number has already left.

With the 2016 Presidential Election coming up, it would be a wise idea to start researching on the candidates. As a young adult, this will be my first time to vote. Thus, this assignment is beneficial is seeing what kind of tax policies the presidential candidates propose. There is an article written by Georgetown Public Policy Review that gives a basic oversight on the presidential candidates and their tax policy.

Yup, that’s right, only about 10% of the entire nation voted for Donald Trump OR Hilary Clinton, yet they are still the Presidential Candidates from the Republican and Democratic Parties. How? In the presidential primaries Donald Trump won the state of Alabama with roughly 43% of all the voters. However, only .3% of registered voters voted for him at all. In a state of 4.8 million, only 14000 voted. In Tennessee, Hillary won with 66% of 3.7% of the total registered. While substantially higher than Trump’s Alabama win, it is still an unacceptably low turnout for the voting of the possible President of the
