Both Gore and Bush were dead even in electoral votes...
It came down to "Florida"...
What really happened in Florida?
Five months before the election, Florida Secretary of State andGeorge Bush's Campaign co-chairperson... Katherine Harris ordered the removal of 57,700 names from Florida?s voter rolls on grounds that they were felons. Voter rolls contain the names of all eligible, registered voters. If you?re not on the list, you don?t get to vote.
If you commit a felony in Florida, you lose your right to vote there, and you?re ?scrubbed? from the rolls. You become a non-citizen, like in the old Soviet Union. This is not the case in most other states; it?s an uncivilized vestige of the Deep South.
My office carefully went through the scrub list and discovered that at minimum, 90.2 percent of the people were completely innocent of any crime ? except for being African American. We didn?t have to guess about that, because next to each voter?s name was their race.
When I questioned Harris? office about the high percentage of African Americans on the scrub list, they responded, ?Well, you know how many black people commit crimes.?
Great article...
The majority of blacks in florida were Democrats.
In Volusia County, Florida....
A discussion takes place in January 2001 concerning the fact that Volusia County, Florida (where else?) came up with -16,022 votes for Gore. Yes, re-read that, Gore was awarded NEGATIVE VOTES.
Diebold explains why the 'accident' happened...
The votes in Florida were being recounted then the supreme court stepped in, they essentially said that Bush won, Gore lost.
Keep in mind this is
outrageous, unprecedented and not democracy. The deciding vote was given by Clarence Thomas, whos wife works on the Bush campaign.
Q: In other words, if America knows the truth that Gore won, they won't accept the US Supreme Court overturning Gore's victory?
A: Yes.
Q: Is that a legal reason to stop recounts? or a political one?
A: Let's just say in all of American history and all of American law, this reason has no basis in law. But that doesn't stop the
five conservatives from creating new law out of thin air.

Understanding the Supreme court decesion
First thing Bush did as president was bar the UN election inspectors from making sure the election was fair.
In summary... Gore won Florida. But due to an 'accidental' removal of 50,000 black democrats from voting, then an GOP owned company Diebold's election machines 'accidentally' caused Gore to lose 16,000 votes, If thats not enough then the conseratives in the supreme court made a law out of thing air that basically made Bush president. Then Bush prevented the UN election inspectors from checking the election.
Honestly thats the most brilliant political coup in the history of mankind, to this day people still don't know what really happened. Congrats to the GOP.
