Florida President election

The scene is Florida, 2000 presidential election and controversy erupts when George Bush is elected president. When George Bush was elected he was elected based on electoral votes and not popularity votes. It was ironic how when Bush was running for president that his cousin was the one in control of the votes in Florida. I believe Bush won because he made it impossible for the people to vote who would vote against him. Such as jail prisoners and low class people. Al Gore was to soft he should spoke up for himself when he felt like things was wrong. Now he is living in regret he should been more cautious because they declined many votes from Al Gore. George Bush brother he was also the governor while Bush was in running for becoming president. Al Gore had the most popularity votes because he was more sincere and didn't only care about the upper class .Al Gore thought about helping others who needed help. If at the time Florida had the IRV George Bush wouldn't have been elected. Because he had 47.9% of the votes and if you put Al Gore Votes and Dane votes together it would've been 50% of the votes not the most but the majority. They wouldn't have the plurality most of the votes they would have the majority of the votes. This marked the fourth election in U.S history in which the eventual winner failed to win plurality of the popular vote. Later research showed that the request from Al Gore campaign in their contest brief and set by the Florida Supreme court, Bush would have most likely won the recount any way. If Al Gore was elected for president I think that things would be better to this day and the economy wouldn't be so messed up now. Bush made a mess that still to this day our new president is trying to fix.

Presidential Debates

1. Can you recall why the League of Women Voters Lost control over the Presidential Debates? T he League of Women voters, was a genuine non-partisan entity, our voice, the voice of the American people in the negotiation room, and time and time again, The League had the courage to stand up to the Republican and Democratic campaigns to insist on challenging creative formats, to insist on the inclusion of independent candidates that the vast majority of American people wanted to see, and most importantly, to insist on transparency, so that any attempts by the Republican and Democratic parties to manipulate the presidential debates would result in and of enormous political price.

2. Can you explain how that changed how the debates are organized?

That changed how the debates are organized because it made the league of women voters feel a specific way about certain situations in the government. 

3. Can you predict the outcome if third party candidates were allowed into the debate? If not now, what information would you need? What are the Democrats and Republican afraid of? If the third party candidates were allowed in the debate
