How did George Bush fix (the votes) Florida in his first elections?

Answer 1

Many ways, one was - Black folks cast 54% of the 179,855 ballots "spoiled" in Florida. Given the nearly unanimous support for Democrats among those Black voters, candidate Al Gore was the choice of the vast majority of those votes thrown away. If tallied, the total vote in Florida would have been 77,000 higher for Gore in a race officially giving the presidency to Mr. Bush by 537 votes.

Answer 2

The Bush Family Connections Inc. is the best place to get a whole picture of crooked Republican tricksters. First THEY have his brother as Florida Gov. (Jeb Bush) then these GOP connections spread across Florida to includ the Evil Wicked Witch Kathleen Harris now running for the US Senate but whose only qualifications are her previous insider work as the Bought and Paid For Head for Board of Erections.

Keep in mind everyone involved are the super rich Valium dependent country club member who if nothing else know how to keep up public face appearances. These Bush Family connections were hard at work at the very top of Florida election doing it for God and the cocaine snorter from Texas. The set up years before 2000 made that elections results 'legal' the only conditions that count for Repubs who will suppressed the vote for non-rich folk like themselvesw. They planned to minimize Democrat vote counting by providing insufficiient numbers of voting machines or having local voting booths understaffed or in miserable conditions that people went home after hours of waiting. Meanwhile Republicans voted in air conditioned comfort without any of the many inconvieniences that Democrats suffered. This was all 'legal' noy fair but legal as per the efforts of GOP lawmakers and administrators who were calling the shots before 2000.

Answer 3

As has been previously reported, an analysis suggests that Gore may also have lost about 13,000 votes in Palm Beach County because of voter confusion over an illegally designed "butterfly" ballot.

After the election, Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan acknowledged that his anomalous blip of 3,704 votes in the staunchly Democratic county, with a large Jewish population, almost certainly resulted from confusion. Buchanan said he believed those votes were intended for Gore.

Gore lost even more votes -- an estimated 10,622 ballots -- when voters tried to correct their error by punching a second hole for Gore after mistakenly punching one for Buchanan.

Aside from the mechanical problems with the vote tabulations, evidence now suggests that on election day, many white Florida officials were doing their utmost to make sure blacks and other minorities (who historically favor the Democrats) didn't vote. That's the real scandal.

Answer 4

Wow. Most of you people seem very stupid, so I will help out.

First, just b/c something is labeled a "conspiracy" theory, doesn't make it untrue per se. Its like the old saying goes, "just b/c I think everyone hates me doesn't make it not true".

With that said, there most likly was no conspiracy. As unbelievable as it seems, the public actually elected that clown. All should hang their heads. Now, with THAT being said, can't you conservatives on Answers admit that YOU WERE WRONG. You were wrong to elect him the first time, and just down right had your heads up your asses the second time. A campaign of fear got him elected, and did the same for him as it did for the politicians in the McCarthy days of yore.

In conclusion, even if the theory isn't true, its still a HORRIBLE turn of events that this clown was elected again, and we should all hope that this country will learn from its mistakes, which it won't.

Answer 5

There was a recount in process when his brother, Jeb, Governor of Fl. had his people bring the recount to an emergency Court hearing. Rather than risk the decision going to the Congress, which is what would have happened, the court declared Bush the winner. They felt it was taking too long to count the votes, and making this country look bad.

Answer 6

By using fixed electric voting machines ,from a republican oriented company,by having a campaign woman as head of the voting commission!! and a other brother (senator)in the background doing "safety" issue's

Dream on..... non conspiracy people...however obvious the things are....who needs facts if noone listens..?

Answer 7

His brother Jeb, the Governor of Florida, helped him with the whole conspiracy.
Then, a member of the supreme court in Florida, who happened to be a huge contributor to Bush's campaign committee, allowed the criminal activities to happen without punishment.
Then, a republican controlled US Supreme court, also allowed it to happen without punishment!
I just wonder how much all these conspirators were paid to do what they did?

Answer 8

He asked his brother to take care of that. Democrats should have continued fighting for their right to the presidency, but they didn't. George Bush was cleanly reelected though.

Answer 9

Bush didn't FIX the votes. Why can't you folks ever get the facts right ?

Answer 10

it seems I remember a bunch of liberal newspapers spent a lot of money on an independent recount and they came to an conclusion that Bush had won. However they did not put it anywhere near page one.
