Gore v Bush v Trump v United States of America
there are lots of interesting stories in America history not many people know about like when the brother of John Wilkes Booth saved the life of one of Lincoln’s sons from a potential fatal railroad accident.
here is an important and fascinating text from the Florida 2000 election.
there was an area of Florida home to many senior citizens mostly Jewish who were mostly Gore voters.
there was a problem with the machines leading to catastrophically misleading ballot display and inadvertently at least 50,000 Jewish seniors voted for the man seen by Jews universally as antisemetic, Pat Buchanan a true right winger.
afterwards there was tremendous dismay over what happened. A community was distraught but the election was still close and winnable for Gore.
it was universally accepted that nothing could be done about the voting error...not all were mislead or misunderstood the ballot although it was recognized that it was indeed a situation of massive voter error.
nothing could be done.
the votes came down to 500 some ballots with punching issues.
no attempts to disenfranchise anyone.
but to me the greatest story is that Gore never sued over the machine problem taking away a plurality of votes that would have given him the easy win.
and he was never a sore loser.
this is a true story and it is amazing.
