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. Behold, we were to have a new president; so we thought. Election experts have called for "evolution" instead of a "revolution" in changing the way the country goes about its elections. Never in history has such controversy risen as in the election 2000; Bush Vs. Gore. Election 2000 has raised "serious concerns
In the 2000 United States Presidential election, the close pre-election polls showed the election could be won by either the Republican or the Democrat Party. This election had two strong candidates, with a handful of other third party candidates including Green Party and Reform Party representatives. As I watched the results of the 2000 presidential election, I felt bad for Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. The Presidency seemed to be well within Governor George W. Bush’s grasp. The news networks
In the Election of 2000 it was George Bush against Al Gore. This race between them began civil enough but as time went on these two presidential canidates were ruthless in their attacks to bring the other down and defame them. In this paper I will talk all about the scandals brought to light, and the testimony from someone who witnessed this occur. The Summary of The Election The 2000 presidential election put U.S Vice President Al Gore, a democrat, against Texas governor George W. Bush, A Republican
Al Gore: Presidential Candidate The candidate I chose to do my paper on was Al Gore. Al Gore is the current Vice President of the United States. He is for the Democratic party and is now running for President for this 2000 election. I chose to do my paper on Vice President Al Gore because I believe that he will be the next president to be in office. With his support on certain issues and policies and also his experience, I know that Al Gore will be able to handle the presidency. I will discuss Al
During the years 1992 and 2000, a series of developments and events occurred that changed the way America functions. Of these events, two stuck out in the minds of many people as the national news coverage was hard to ignore. These two events that occurred resulted in many changes, Rodney King and the Los Angeles riots of 1992 and the disputed election of 2000. It proves that one person can be the reason behind an event that will cause local and national governments and officials to stop and think
large-scale experiment known as American Democracy. Therefore, the problem of declining voter participation is a serious one indeed. Several reasons for this enigmatic conundrum of voter apathy have become apparent in recent years. In many presidential elections, numerous Americans have found themselves compromising their views and voting not for the candidate with whom they resonate best, but rather for the candidate who they dislike the least. This compromise that is forced upon the electorate is a result
Parties of accommodation have made it impossible for the number of citizens engaged in politics to remain as high as it once was. If the party does not stand for something than people aren’t as interested in making a stand with the party.

Cleveland with one electoral vote, although President Cleveland won the popular vote. It has once again happened, as George Bush defeated Al Gore in the 2000 election. Al Gore won the popular vote and George Bush walked away with the electoral vote and the Presidency. Is it no wonder that the actual people who vote in the presidential elections is so low? We constantly hear your vote could be the one that counts. How is that possible in a system that does not always take in a count the popular vote
The Election of 1823 was one of the most unique elections in time. It included two different candidates who had opposite personalities and motives. John Quincy Adams was a Harvard Graduate with 3 degrees and a wealthy New England elite. He was the son of a founding father, and had already held a presidential position in government. Andrew Jackson was a war hero who led his troops to victory in the Battle of New Orleans. He was born poor, and was commonly called "a man of the people." During the campaign

The cause of the recent decade of ice receding is the warming climate that has caused any high-altitude glaciers to shrink worldwide. In the findings by Thompson, Brechera, Mosley-Thompson, Hardy, and B. G. Mark, they discovered that “of the ice cover present in 1912, 85% has disappeared and 26% of that present in 2000 is now gone”. They traced the receding ice back
believe that the world is going to end on a set date saying that the date will be May 5, 2000. If their calculations are right, then we only have 6 years to live. "Millennialisim has been present in just about every generation since the birth of Christ--and just about every crop of millennialists has been disappointed" 300 years ago, Nostradamas predicted all of the popes, correctly up until the year 2000. According to Nostradamas we only have 4 popes left until "A horrible fiery death to all humankind"©

the Electoral College seems to be the topic in every conversation and the thesis to every essay. The uncontrollable desire to know the truth behind the mystery is stirring in the minds of the people in the United States of America. With the 2000 Elections underway sides are beginning to be taken among the people. Many oppose the Electoral College because of the fact that unknowing electors choose their leader and many support it because it was created by the founding fathers. Both sides are arguable
In his book, The Voting Wars, Richard Hasen argues that parties involved in election reform issues generally fall into one of two groups: one focused on removing any potential fraudulent votes, and the other focused on expanding voter access so as to not exclude any potential votes. Hasen works to show that most election litigation stems from this dichotomy.

One of the most menacing concerns is in the form that government attains office. The voting process, the form in which Canadians are represented by their Members of Parliament, and the first past the post method of election. The debate about electoral reform is not a new issue it has been discussed for
If you think on the Election Day, you just voted for US president, than you are mistaken, just like millions of Americans who hope their votes would pick next president. When voting for President, we actually vote for state electors who hold Electoral votes. Electoral votes are the votes that decide victory of candidate in election. This Electoral College System has limited democracy to people in major three ways. Electoral college holds an ability to alter result of Election over popular votes,
