You have put across the point of your article extremely well. But I did want to say that in 2000, the Supreme Court did intervene to stop the Democrat’s effort to steal the 2000 election by ending Florida’s re-re-recount of the infamous “butterfly ballots” with their interpretations of “dimpled” and “hanging” chads.
Bush was ahead in Florida and it was initially called for Bush, leading ultimately to Gore conceding the Election to Gore. But almost immediately on election night, the Clintons urged Gore to withdraw the concession and demand a recount of Florida. This lead to a month-long examination of the butterfly ballots and an effort to find some 300 and more votes to put Al Gore over the top.
Daily, a few more votes for Gore would be found and I don’t think any were ever found for Bush. But eventually, an appeal to the Supreme Court was made and pressure was applied to end the recount, certify for Bush, and move on to a peaceful transition in January.
But even here, a case for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory could be made. The shenanigans with the White House keyboards and silverware; the photo of a grinning Hillary whispering something into a stoic GW’s ear; and the announcement of “power sharing” in Congressional committees in the new term.
But again, I think your article is spot on.
Al Gore initially conceded the 2000 election to GW Bush before almost immediately withdrawing it, if I wasn’t clear. Bush famously said, “Okay. But don’t get snippy about it” while Gore told him he was renegging on the concession.
Welcome, and I agree about 2000.
But then learning all we know now about the Bush’s. I can say, what did we win back then????
Fox called Florida for Gore while the panhandle was still voting. Very much like what they did in Arizona in 2020.
