  • Having lived through those times, there were questions about recounts, and it went to the supreme court, which called it a state issue (how a state handles its electors is a purely state issue), and the state courts ruled the counting be finished in a manner that helped Bush. I remember how civil it all was… there was anger and disappointment, but we all went through it quietly proud how the process was solved in a civil manner.

    Different times.

    There were issues. There’s feelings that R members of the Florida govnt helped push the outcome. Some counties went in less than 200 votes. The fact that Bush was led by the nose by an unscrupulous cabinet into 2 wars, not to mention a lot of bad policy that played out over years, did not help with how people look back.
