Top Tweets for #Election2000
The 2000 election was a political crime scene. Florida, the recount, Jeb Bush, Gore, Bush, and the DNC protests taught a generation that democracy can be bent in public and sold as procedure. Run the tape.

The era of electronic #VotingMachine started after the #Florida #Election2000 fiasco. Dan Rather found that a voting machine vendor, Sequoia, sabotaged their own #PaperBallots, so they could sell more expensive electronic systems. [Clip 10]

I cannot for the life of me work out how to count these ballots here in Florida!
Just given Nader 80 votes by accident, ain’t no going back.

For tonight’s class at @NewEngCollege we read the Bush V. Gore case and watched the HBO documentary, 537 Votes. 25 years later and it’s still astonishing that @algore may have won Florida outright if Janet Reno hadn’t deported Elian Gonzalez to Cuba. #Election2000
@25YearsAgoLive We need to get Al Gore into the White House to prevent the Bush clan from squandering the surplus! #Election2000
Like #Election2000 & Bush v. Gore, McConnell’s stealing Obama’s rightful SCOTUS appointment is among the pivotal moments in the history of the #RuthlessnessGap that has destroyed our democracy.
At the height of his power—when McConnell, by hook & deeply antidemocratic crook, denied Obama his Supreme Court pick & absconded with a Republican-appointed court majority--he unwittingly sowed seeds that would jeopardise American democracy in ways he never imagined.
#OTD 2000: Vice President #AlGore officially conceded defeat to Governor George W. Bush in the presidential election. Gore conceded his bid for the presidency after a 36-day legal battle over the recounting of votes in Florida. #Election2000 #USHistory
#OTD 2000: SCOTUS ended a Florida vote recount in the presidential election contest between #GeorgeWBush and #AlGore. It allowed Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris's vote certification to stand, giving Bush Florida's 25 electoral votes. #Election2000 #USHistory

@Will_Bunch It was reflecting on #Election2000 and Bush v. Gore in general, & the “Brooks Brothers Riot” in particular, that led me — 15 years ago — to coin the term “the #RuthlessnessGap,” & to identify an increasing #RepublicanRuthlessness as the most important new dynamic in U.S. politics
@NormOrnstein Yes!
15 years ago I coined the term the #RuthlessnessGap to *name* the most significant new dynamic in U.S. politics:
Ever-increasing #RepublicanParty ruthlessness, extremism, and authoritarianism.
I’d start the modern Ruthlessness Gap with Newt Gingrich.
Then #Election2000.
@Just_A_Dude_AZ @charliekirk11 If W's DUI from many years before was relevant in #Election2000, @GovTimWalz 's more recent #DUI is relevant now for #Election2024, right?
Oh, I forgot...

Trump-who did more to overturn Roe is now abandoned? Trump's more likely to turn our country around than anyone 3rd party who'll just siphon votes away & help elect Biden. #election2000
Joe Lieberman, former US Senator and 2000 Democratic VP nominee, has passed away at 82.

@DeepTruthIntel They lied about the #Titanic
They lied about #OKC bombing
They lied about #Election2000 & every other election in the 21st century
I'll stop on that note & make it clear once again: There will be no #Election2024 since #Election2020;#BlockChainVoting can be used to stop cheaters
@highbrow_nobrow @NickKave Y2 K was not disaster but #Election2000 was. Now it’s just too painful to think about.
@mslowins954 @JohnJHarwood @theabstoddard @valdemings So very true 💙
Florida seldom chooses the better candidate, especially since #Election2000
SUCH an important thread.
This is NO WAY to win elections, folks.
I’m a radical & a progressive. I’ve shared the stage with Nader, LaDuke, West.
After #Election2000, I decided that no part of my radical politics involves allowing Republicans to win the White House & SCOTUS.
