I have provided a link for you below: Bush vs. Gore the Endless election. This is about the presidential election of 2000. It was a land mark election. Pay attention to the information provided as you will be writing a movie reflection about this movie.
Assignment requirements:
I don’t like to give word limit on this assignment. I do believe that 1-3 pages should be adequate enough for this assignment. I want you to focus on the main theme of the Election:
Major themes:
(Voting accuracy (ballots in Florida);
Electoral College v. Popular vote;
The media impact;
Conflict of interest for some of the officials;
supreme court in Florida vs. United states Supreme Court (Supremacy Clause);
Leadership style of Bush and Gore in the weeks leading to final decision;
Summary of anything else you got out of this landmark case.
You need to attempt to relate the main theme/themes of the movie to what we have learned in class. What happened in Florida in 2000 is still relevant today; the election of 2016: The electoral college v the popular vote, and we also encountered major ballot recounts in Florida in midterm election of 2018, and in this very crucial 2020 presidential election and all the major issues we had in recounts and not certifying the elections until January 5th. 2021.
