PRE-PRESIDENCY
2000: STEALING THE PRESIDENCY WITH BROTHER’S HELP:
Leading up to the November election, Florida’s Secretary of State, Katherine Harris and Governor
Jeb Bush remove tens of thousands of citizens from the voter rolls. 54% of those removed were
African-American.
The Florida Republican party claims those barred from voting were convicted felons, but almost none were. In the 2000 election, Al Gore received over 90% of the African American vote for President, but "lost" Florida.
2000: STEALING THE PRESIDENCY WITH FATHER’S HELP
Loses the popular vote by over a half a million votes but still becomes president, thanks to a Supreme Court decision against a Florida recount made by Bush Sr/Republican appointees.
