Volusia county has since dumped their Diebold voting machines for security reasons.

I believe there was a lot of foul play from what I've read.

We disagree about the 2000 vote to the degree that jeb definitely fixed the vote and kathrine harris aided the situation.That same kathrine harris is being called "unstable" by the latest campaign manager to quit her team.
I don't hate bush...........i hate what he has done and i hate the complacency that people in this country have shown since the supreme court "elected " bush.

I don't think the dems can have a plan to deal with this mess because The GOP has been far too secretive.
If people want something worthwhile they need to restore the balance of power and that is why they need to vote dem..........not because the dems are better.
The poiltical situation currently is not about leadership........it's about how does one party or the other get their hands on the bank account so they can line their pockets.

Gore's Victory

By Robert Parry
November 12, 2001

So Al Gore was the choice of Florida’s voters -- whether one counts hanging chads or dimpled chads. That was the core finding of the eight news organizations that conducted a review of disputed Florida ballots. By any chad measure, Gore won.


Gore won even if one doesn’t count the 15,000-25,000 votes that USA Today estimated Gore lost because of illegally designed “butterfly ballots,” or the hundreds of predominantly African-American voters who were falsely identified by the state as felons and turned away from the polls.

Gore won even if there’s no adjustment for George W. Bush’s windfall of about 290 votes from improperly counted military absentee ballots where lax standards were applied to Republican counties and strict standards to Democratic ones, a violation of fairness reported earlier by the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Put differently, George W. Bush was not the choice of Florida’s voters anymore than he was the choice of the American people who cast a half million more ballots for Gore than Bush nationwide.
