	New York Times documents military role in theft of 2000 election
		Even with the presidency on the line, both the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Democratic Party collapsed in the face of opposition from the military brass.
		The Times report confirms the analysis of the 2000 election made by the World Socialist Web Site: it was a watershed event, marking a decisive break with the traditional forms of rule of American capitalism.
		Consistent with their complicity in both the impeachment conspiracy and the theft of the 2000 election, the major networks have given virtually no coverage to the Times articles and the issues they raise.

	The 2000 election and Bush's attack on democratic rights
		The 1998 congressional election was a political debacle for the Republicans, whose majority in the House of Representatives was slashed.
		Underlying the election crisis and the break with democratic norms was the most salient feature of contemporary American life—a phenomenon that holds such immense and revolutionary significance, it is generally excluded by the powers-that-be from what passes for political discourse.
		The 2000 election opened up a new chapter in US history, in which the class contradictions that suffuse all aspects of social life, but have been expunged from official politics and debate, are inexorably coming to the fore.

	General Accounting Office Report
		As of April 7, 2000, according to U.N. documents, the U.N. international police force was significantly understaffed at 2,886 personnel, about 1,830 fewer that the number authorized by the United Nations and almost 3,115 less than requested by the U.N. mission in Kosovo.
		As of March 17, 2000, two NATO countries had agreed to provide the equivalent of one additional battalion for this purpose, and, according to DOD officials, the United States had agreed to deploy an additional 125 military personnel to the U.S. sector.
		Croatia's former ruling nationalist party, which in early 2000 was defeated in parliamentary and presidential elections by democratic opposition groups, (1) politically, economically, and militarily supported Bosnian Croat aims to maintain a state separate from Bosnia; and (2) denied citizenship rights to and obstructed the return of Croatian Serb refugees.

		Although there were numerous elections in the region during 1999, a number of governments used the lead-up to elections to impose highly restrictive measures on anyone perceived as a potential political opponent.
		In Kazakhstan, suddenly called presidential elections in January were a gross perversion of a democratic political process, with the government obstructing the formation, registration, and activities of groups intending to support opposition candidates or to participate as monitors.
		In the lead-up to presidential elections in 1999 and parliamentary elections scheduled for early 2000, the government of Tajikistan tried to obstruct the legitimate activities of political parties and attempted further to restrict the independent media.

		The 2000 retrial of 6 former Croatian soldiers charged with the 1995 massacre of 16 elderly Serbs in the villages of Varivode and Goscici was ongoing in the Sibenik county court at year's end.
		In October 2000, 13 Serbs were arrested and detained in Baranja on war crimes charges based on 1996 indictments from the Osijek county court, despite the fact that these indictments had little or no supporting evidence; 7 of the Serbs eventually were released but 6 remained in detention at year's end.
		In the wake of the autumn 2000 termination of the OSCE police monitoring group in the Danubian region (and its replacement with a smaller civilian unit), the police continued to respond appropriately to law and order issues, although some NGO's continued to express concern that ethnic Serbs were reluctant to report ethnically-motivated incidents to authorities.

		Recognising that the “flawed” elections will not solve Guinea’s problems, the ICG’s expectation is that Conté’s death will result in a military coup and worries that divisions in the army may cause difficulties.

		International observers judged parliamentary elections in 2001 and local elections in 2003 to be acceptable and a step toward democratic development, but identified serious deficiencies.
		Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
		Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.

		ZAGREB, Croatia – Croats voted Sunday whether to give President Stipe Mesic a second term in an election that was not monitored by international observers, an indication of the former Yugoslav country's democratic progress since it gained independence in a bloody 1992 war with a rebel Serb minority.
		The president, elected to a five-year term, has limited powers because the prime minister and parliament exercise most decision-making, and Croats apparently do not see the vote as so crucial – by midday, the turnout was only 15 percent.
		Many saw the election as a vote either for or against the ruling party, which was founded by Tudjman but has distanced itself from its nationalist roots after Tudjman died in 2000 and become a European-style conservative party.
