Why did the State of Florida ordered a recount of the 2000 vote?

History

Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

In Florida, the 2000 election was very close. The morning after the election, neither candidate had officially won the state, though Bush led by around 1,800 votes. Florida state law required very close elections to be automatically recounted by machines. This first recount made the election even closer, giving Bush a lead of just over 300 votes. Gore then requested a recount to be done by hand in four counties, which Florida state law allows. The law also states, however, that the votes must be counted and approved by the Florida secretary of state within seven days of the election. This deadline was impossible for the counties to meet because the hand recount would take considerable time. Three of the four counties did not make the deadline, but the Florida secretary of state, Katherine Harris, announced that Bush had won the state on November 26th. This result was contested by Al Gore, who appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. The court ruled that any votes not counted by machines, mostly due to machine errors or rejections, must be counted by hand.

<span>It’s the law. Neither Bush nor Gore won over 50% of the popular vote. In Florida, Bush won by a small number of votes. Florida law requires a recount when the results are that close.</span>

C. Because there was no branch to enforce these laws

When we were under the AOC, they wrote it so that the state governments had all the power, while the Federal government had very little. Since they were afraid of a tyrannical figure ruling over them, they made it so that there was no executive branch. Only a legislative branch. Because of this, they could make all the laws they wanted but no one could make the states follow them.

Capitalism definition in your own words PLEASE
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Capitalism is an economic system. Playing a second role in the US Government, it allows people and companies to make most of the decisions and own property, taking power and shifting it from the government. So this means that companies become privately owned, and therefore allowing the people to make profit, not the government. Capitalism leads to efficient production, a more dynamic people, economic and political freedom, and also  is commonly used as a tool to overcome discrimination and bring the people together.

Before or chicken eggs before?
Tcecarenko [31]
Answer:

Explanation:

Though I don’t think there is a definite answer for this but for me personally I believe that the chicken eggs comes before the chicken.

Just like how there’s no caterpillar there wouldn’t be butterfly. Or how human transform from monkey. Without egg there will be no chicken although the same thing can be said vice versus however, just like how the theory that human comes from apes (monkey) there could be possibility that chicken had also gone through some transformation of its own. In this case, egg has more possibilities because there are quite a lot of animal that produces egg including ducks, birds and more. And therefore creating a new species call “Chicken”. This is just a personal thought.
