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>

1. Compare the views of Bradstreet and Johnson toward American Indians.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer and Explanation:

Bradstreet has an aggressive and negative view of the North American indigenous people, he believes that they are savage, violent, uncivilized and that they must be fought in the name of the goals of the English. He believes that the Indians are oppressive and that this should not be tolerated. He believes that the Indians will unite against England and for that reason it is necessary to be prepared. Probably, this view that Bradstreet has towards indigenous people comes from bad experiences he had with the tribes, as well as an imperialist thought full of prejudices and a strong racism and intolerance.

Johnson, on the other hand, although he believes that indigenous people are uncivilized, he believes that working for them will be more profitable for the English, than fighting them. He believes that indigenous people are a fascinating people and that they have dominion over the lands that the English are taking over. Even in the midst of this, the Indians are willing to divide the land and for this they make small demands that can easily be met by the English, establishing harmony with all peoples. Johnson's view comes from the humanistic character and the peaceful nature that he possessed.
