Customer Reviews of Unprecedented - The 2000 Presidential Election - 2004 Campaign Edition

Secondly, the documentary goes out of its way to point out how Al Gore, idiot that he was/is, mis-handled the recount legality issues in the post-election days.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the documentary makes it abundantly clear that SOME United States citizens, residing in the state of Florida, were denied their legal right to vote in 2001. After you have seen this documentary, there is no doubt of that fact.

This is possibly the REAL story of how Harris (the then-Florida State Secretary), Bush & the Florida Republican-led Legislature fixed the 2000 Presidential election. And, for those of you exhausted on the subject, THE REAL STORY has little to do with the recount or "hanging chads".

Prior to the 2000 election, Harris and the Legislature retained a company called DBS systems. The state paid DBS millions of dollars to compile a list of felons residing in the state of Florida. The stated intention of this list was to enforce an obscure 100-year old Florida law that prevents convicted felons from voting.

In principle, however, Harris knew that a high number of blacks would turn up on any such list. Blacks in Florida have historically voted overwhelmingly Democrat (Jeb Bush was defeated in 1994 for Governor in Florida, when asked what he would do for impoverished blacks in the state of Florida if he were elected, replied "probably nothing").

At a post-2000-election NAACP-lawsuit trial, DBS officials gave testimony and documentation that Harris' office directed them to not match the first names, middle names or birthdates of anyone appearing on the list; DBS was instructed to only match the last name. DBS responded in writing that this would result in thousands of false positives, but Harris' office replied, in writing, no problem. And, when DBS reported that some felony conviction dates didn't match, Harris' office instructed DBS to remove the conviction dates from the list entirely!

Working from DBS's submitted list, Harris' office then moved to delete everyone on it from the poll rosters. In the process, they deleted a then-unknown number of perfectly legal, eligible voters from the polls, many of whom showed up at the polls and were subsequently denied their right as U.S. citizens to cast their vote.

And, as we all know now, Dubya only won Florida by 537 votes. Last month, the Florida State Board Of Elections admitted, under duress, that the list now has FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND names.

Today, a Florida State judge halted all attempts by the State of Florida to keep the list secret, and has ordered it released to the press and anyone who wants it.

Hopefully, that just judicial ruling, and this documentary, will be viewed by history as getting us to where we are today: CLOSER TO THE TRUTH.

It's going to be REAL interesting, between now and November, when the list has been independently vetted and we find out just how many of the 47,000 are false positives.

It's also going to be REAL interesting, in November, in Florida, come Election Day, once EVERYBODY has the right to vote.

Oh boy...
This video NAILED the real election story, the story out there, for those who know how to read beyond headlines, and who learned to ignore TV news outlets, long ago. There were some things it could have gone into, but didn't, but it's a short. One can't expect in depth data from film. It just doesn't happen.

Some corrections to Viewer in Midwest:

If ANY absentee vote isn't sent on time, then it doesn't count. Period. I don't care if it's from the Almighty himself, or from a soldier. How about some of that personal responsibility that Republicans are always screaming about? As a former airman, I voted in elections in my home state while I lived far, far away. I knew what I needed to do, and the military helped with that process. Still, it is up to YOU to make the arrangements to get the ballot and send it back in a timely fashion, so that it will arrive ON TIME. And you don't bellyache if it doesn't work that way because YOU were too lazy to do it.

As for Dems "starting" the craziness of the Y2K elections, of course the party leader would be there if doubts arose about the votes--that's his JOB. The Republicans made this a mess, in more ways than one, when THEY filed their crybaby lawsuits. Odd, since they don't want ordinary citizens filing lawsuits, but that's another point.

Home of the brave, land of the free... yeah right!
Obviously I'm not American, and after watching this dvd, I'm very VERY relieved. Your land is mean't to be the driving force of freedom and bravery, and instead is the laughing stock of the entire world, even your allies! Stop fooling yourself America! Your elections are jokes, your government is evil, your President is a puppet, your people are armed and you are all afraid all the time. What a way to be! You can't look at women's bossoms yet can buy a handgun!?! Huh? Take a good look around you. Your government attempts to 'buy friends' in other countries then turns on them like rabid dogs when they don't play ball. What a suprise. Wake up America. You are being taken down the garden path by the very hand of evil you trust. And stop with the guns! Haven't you learnt your lesson. Americans should NOT be armed... amendment or no amendment. Shoot first, ask questions later... now THAT'S the motto you should have. Forget the free and brave. That's just a joke! Oh, the dvd is excellent... and yes, you SHOULD be afraid... oh you know the rest!
