In US presidential elections 2000, there was a concerted effort among people in high places to make sure that George W. Bush would be our next President. When things didn’t work out as planned on Election Day it became a conspiracy after the fact. These people had no regard for the truth, the U.S. Constitution, or anything else. In effect, it was an illegal coup and it reached into the highest levels of the United States Government, including top brass inside the nations military. Prior to election night experts following the race between Bush, and Gore, knew that to win the presidency the eventual winner would have to win the State of Florida. There was simply no other way for either man to obtain the 270 electoral votes needed without the 25 at stake in Florida. Early on Florida appeared to be easy pickings for the Republican Bush. His brother John Ellis “Jeb” Bush was the sitting Governor, of Florida, with a lofty approval rating. However, the Gore-Lieberman ticket had far greater appeal especially to Florida’s elderly and retired population, than political pundits realized. By the weekend before the election, Republican’s everywhere seemed in a panic because according to almost every poll Al Gore was ahead in Florida.
In 2000, a clear majority of Americans voted for Al Gore. But the winner is determined by the Electoral College, so the winner in each state must be considered. The vote in Florida was so close that it took a month to declare a winner. Before Florida was declared, Gore led in the Electoral College with 266 votes to Bush’s 246 votes. When Bush was declared the winner of Florida by 537 votes, he picked up 25 Electoral College votes which gave him the Presidency. But Bush only won Florida because of poorly designed butterfly ballots that stole votes from Gore, and because his Florida campaign manager Republican Secretary of State Kathleen Harris and Governor Jeb Bush illegally removed 57,700 voters from the rolls. It is estimated that 90% of them were Democratic. So this represents thousands of votes stolen from Al Gore. If this crime had not been committed then Gore would be President.
