The Presidential Election For The First Time

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 2000 President Election isn’t considered to be the typical election that occurs every four years in our society. I am opening up the discussion of this important topic in American presidential history by first sharing a fact that not many people may know: there have been three previous presidential elections in which one candidate won the popular vote but not the electoral vote and lost the election. The 2000 Presidential Election was considered to be one of the most highly contested elections in presidential election history (Summary). The election was between Governor George W. Bush (R-TX) and Vice President Al Gore (D-TN). On Election Day night, news stations across the country were all giving an early win of Florida to Gore and

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.

It is hard to believe that it will be a year since the Bush vs. Gore campaign was in it’s

The election of 1860 was a very important moment of the United States history. There were four candidates, Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, the Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, the Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge, and Republican Abraham Lincoln. During this election, different views of slavery are what caused the Democrats to electorally split into North and South. This split is why the 1860 election is considered by most political observers to be the first “critical” election.This election caused sharp and enduring changes in our country’s views on slavery and politics.

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 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

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 United States presidential election in the year 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore was one of the closest finishes in our country’s history. In addition to the election being so tightly contested, the election also provided an in depth look at the inner workings of our political process. There are 538 electors in the United States Electoral College, thus to win the presidency a candidate must receive the majority vote of at least 271 electoral votes. In the case of the presidential election of 2000, George W. Bush received 271 electoral votes and Al Gore received 266, thus George W. Bush achieved the majority and was eventually sworn in as the 43rd president of the United States. However, there were some unusual occurrences in the

Watching the 2016 Republican candidates battle for the presidency of the United States, one might reach the conclusion that Ronald Reagan never left the campaign trail.  In the second GOP debate alone, the “Great Communicator’s” name was brought up a total of 23 times, which even exceeds the number of times Donald Trump mentioned China.  One of the comments coming from Jeb Bush was “I’m on the Reagan side of this.”  Additionally, Senator Marco Rubio stated that “Reagan and his approach worked (CITE).”  The candidates worked hard to evoke memories of and make comparisons to the beloved former president.  The debate even took place in the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.  Reagan has been constantly praised by those on the

The Bush Vs. Gore campaign was at its climax in late October of 2000. The people of the nation were casting their votes, and the two leading candidates were neck to neck. The tension was sky high on election day November 7, 2000.

The 2004 presidential election was a re-election year, with current President George Bush with the republican ticket and as the democratic representative was John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts. While the country watched the election and debates get underway, they decided that the candidates stance on the war in Iraq, terrorism, and the economy would be the separating difference of who would take office. As America watched the campaigns play out, they were finally able to decide on November 2, 2004 who would be their commander-in-chief. The 2004 election was set on a scene of war in the backdrop, similarly the 1944 election resembled the same scenery. From 1944 to 2004 to 2016, the key issues and the stance of each candidate needed to take

"Would you want to have a beer with them?" In 2008 's presidential election, this was a popular question Americans asked of the candidates to gage their likeability. The person who often found himself on the top of those polls was Joe Biden. A man known for his down-to-earth attitude, Vice President Biden has had much talk surrounding him in recent weeks about whether he will run for president. With Hillary Clinton as the clear Democratic frontrunner, many believe it would throw a whole different dynamic into the race if Biden ran — not only is he the guy that you would want to have a beer with or the current person next in line to the presidency, but he also has also experienced recent personal struggles with the death of his son, Beau. With all these story angles to take, the media has been taken various approaches to following Biden 's potential campaign. Each platform presents the story in a different way, as well, and it is interesting to see the variance of coverage that traditional T.V., traditional print and evolving media have between each other.

A Presidential Election, determines how the next four years would be. The election is a fight between different political parties, and they fight to win and represent the political beliefs and values of their followers. In the 2016 Presidential Election, there are many candidates who ran for president. There are main two main parties, the Democrat party and the Republican party, there were also many Third-party candidates. Donald Trump the primary candidate for the Republicans ran with no political experiences and won while Hillary Clinton the primary Democrat candidate who was the former sectary of state ran and lost. Not only was there a fight between the different parties, there also was fighting among each other and in individual parties. Many parties had many different views on the issues of today world. They both made many different promises on each issue.
