  U.S. presidential election, 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. presidential election of 2000 was one of the closest elections in U.S. history, decided by only 527 votes in the swing state of Florida.
The outcome of the November 7 election was not known for more than a month after the balloting, because of the extended process of counting and then recounting of Florida presidential ballots, which would ultimately decide the election.
Since the Presidential Election was so close and hotly contested in Florida, the U.S. Government and state governments have pushed for election reform to be prepared by the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election.

It seems that the two events made the people on the island realize that the upcoming election is crucial for the island's future: increasingly they coalesced around the President, and moved away from the pan-blue Lien-Soong coalition, in spite of the strong hold the pan-blues still have over both the electronic and printed media.

The every-four-year U.S. presidential elections are important historical junctures in which forces across the political spectrum assess the current conditions facing the U.S. nation state and present competing strategies for the future of the country.
This history shapes the political culture today, as elections are dominated by a chauvinist, punitive, and aggressively racist white majority, with minority communities badly split on ideological and class lines, and with many of society’s most oppressed members and groups unregistered, undocumented, and incarcerated.
The elections are a time when the national political debate, as dormant and bankrupt as it is, is raised to a more visible level in which the Left should try to maximize its influence.

 Mexican Presidential Elections 2000
The political disruptions of 1994, a presidential election year when the Chiapas rebellion burst forth and the PRI's first presidential candidate was assassinated, forced Salinas to capitulate to further electoral reforms before his second choice for president, Ernesto Zedillo, was elected.
That victory, combined with the win by Cárdenas in the 1997 Federal District election and several major triumphs in gubernatorial and municipal elections by the PAN and the PRD from 1995 onward, created the sense that the PRI could be beaten.
Both the PRI and the opposition knew that the 2000 election would be the closest in the nation's history, and both sides engaged in unusual efforts to strengthen their attractiveness to the electorate.

As for the litigation process itself and how it ended producing the controversial Supreme Court decision, when the 2000 election results were too close to call, the complexity of both the federal and electoral college systems resulted in bringing the election laws of Florida - as well as the federal laws - to the forefront.
Thus, the litigation process was one in which one candidate counted on state courts, while the other resorted to the federal courts; two decisions that were in fact based on political calculations that had to do with the political 'color' of both court systems at the time of the crisis.
It was even clear that the Gore campaign realized the risk; a week before the election, it started a massive last-minute campaign to mobilize the fl vote.
