Exactly! Good point there B-man. Here is the truth on the "RECOUNT",....and please disregard the stupid movie!
Although the left-leaning Florida Supreme Court improperly attempted to aid Al Gore in illegally recounting votes in select Democrat precincts, their judicial activist ruling was overturned 7-2 by the Supreme Court and nullified
Bush got more votes in Florida on election night, following the automatic recount and after all absentee ballots were counted. Seven media publications, including USA Today (which is hardly a rightward-leaning newspaper), sponsored recounts and determined that, under any proposed standard of methodology, Bush won every recount.
There was never any proof or evidence of illegal voter "disenfranchised," black turnout nationwide shattered all previous records. In Florida, blacks comprised a larger percentage of the voter pool than of the total population of the state. Blacks, polls were kept open past the 7p.m. closing. Voter turnout reached 100% in some precincts.
It was Al Gore and the Dems who attempted to "steal" the election by hand picking heavily populated areas, which were heavily Democrat precincts for...... recounts. He also tried to throw out the absentee ballots of those in the military,...which tends to by primarily Republican votes! Dem Party operatives issued a 5 page memo which detailed in depth how to disqualify military ballots! Gore said he wanted "every vote to count." Which was a big fat lie!
In the end, it was the Dems who were guilty of the very ethical violations they themselves accused Republicans of committing.
In June 2001, the US Commission on Civil Rights issued a report which found no evidence of voter intimidation, no evidence of voter harassment and no evidence of intentional or systematic disenfranchisement of black voters. This commission, which was headed by overtly-partisan Democrat Mary Francis Berry, found "no basis for the contention that officials conspired to disenfranchise black voters."
Another separate investigation was conducted by the justice Dept's Civil Rights Division and concluded, "The Civil Rights Div found no credible evidence in our investigations that Floridians were intentionally denied their right to vote during the Nov election".
Even prominent liberal Democrats have stated publicly Dems engaged in highly suspect political means to win the 2000 election.
Democrat Pat Caddell
(go ahead and google his name!) said, "I have to tell you, at this point it's hard to believe, but my party, the party that [my family has] belonged to since my great-grandfather, has become no longer a party of principles, but has been hijacked by a confederacy of gangsters who need to take power by whatever means and whatever canards they can."
It was the mainstream leftwing media outlets who called Florida for Gore an hour before the polls closed in the heavily populated Republican panhandle, which analysts such as the polling company John McLaughlin & Associates say resulted in suppression of voters,....costing Bush about 10K votes. Bob Beckel, a Dem strategist, concluded Bush suffered a net loss of about 8K votes in the Panhandle.
This movie today, as well as the media at the time of the election just doesn't know when to end this nonsense full of lies. ....Dirty darn Democrats!
