Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election

My reaction on this movie was surprising. I never knew this happened to our country at the time. I was only nine years old. Now that I know more about our government and politics, I understand these types of things better. The biggest things that surprised me is that over a thousand African- Americans who had voted in previous elections discovered that their names were missing from the voter rolls. Some people were even marked as felons, or ex-felon offenders that never even had a criminal record. This means they couldn’t even vote in some states. What also caught my attention is that 175,000 ballots went unread by the ballot counting machines. This means a lot of mass media. This type of situation could happen in our next presidential election if we don’t be careful.
