	2000 Presidential Election
		The 2000 presidential election between the Republican ticket of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney and the Democratic slate of Albert Gore, Jr., and Joseph Lieberman resulted in the most bizarre vote count in American history.
		The Democrats then sought court action mandating a ballot recount in counties where irregularities were claimed in the counting of the ballots, particularly the failure to count votes where ballots were punched only partly through to indicate a candidate choice, the so-called "hanging chads".
		The U.S. Supreme Court granted the request to hear the case, and reversed the Florida Supreme Court order of December 8 in its decision released December 12.

	Political Archive-1948 Election
		Shortly before his inaguration at a dinner of the Presidential Electors Association, the President also gleefully parodied the radio reports of the prominent broadcaster H..V. Kaltenborn, who on election night commented that the President's apparent lead in the early returns would be unlikely to hold.
		After the election, analysts attributed the polls' failure largely to completing their surveys too early, thus missing a late swing in voter sentiment in favor of the President.
		Another feature of Truman's 1948 race was his famed "whistle-stop" train campaign in which he gave speeches to crowds from the back of the special "Magellan" train chartered by the Democrats.

	US Presidential Election 2000 (Current Issues Brief 9 2000-01)
		US Presidential elections are partly about policy issues, partly about planting images of the candidates in voters' minds.
		Presidential campaign running mates are often chosen to enhance a party's chances of winning the state of the Vice-Presidential candidate, but in this case not only was Cheney's state of Wyoming rock-solid Republican, but its Electoral College tally of three votes was very likely to be irrelevant to the result.
		the US Supreme Court, rather than American voters, determined the outcome of the presidential election, and it did so in the full knowledge that recounts were incomplete and that the result in Florida may well have been different had those recounts been concluded.

	The Real Third-Party Candidate in 1948
		The segregationist apostates didn't expect Thurmond to win the election (he carried only four Southern states); they meant to divert enough Electoral College votes from Truman to throw his contest with Republican Thomas Dewey into the House of Representatives.
		If anything, he was the fourth-party candidate in the 1948 popular vote, coming in behind another candidate who, like him, had bolted the Democrats to run on an insurgent ticket.
		Like Ralph Nader's voters in 2000, the leftist insurgent's supporters in 1948 cost Democrats several states: Michigan, New Jersey, and New York went narrowly to Dewey, whose civil-rights posture was at best platitudinous and ephemeral and whose antipathy to labor was legendary.

	Selected Websites, US Presidential Election 2004
		With the 2004 presidential election approaching and a variety of Democratic hopefuls making the rounds drumming up support and financial commitments, it seemed appropriate to suggest some websites that might help in tracking the 2004 presidential, Congressional and gubernatorial elections - the issues, candidates, money and public opinion.
		We look at it as a place to start if you need to start tracking the 2004 elections well over a year before the general election takes place, not on everybody’s radar screen, but certainly not too early for those involved in the campaigns, fund raising and poll taking and the e-inclined political junkie.
		Websites for the major political parties in the U.S. As of late April, 2003, most of them did not have well-developed sites focusing on the 2004 elections, but as the campaigns heat up they will offer official party platforms, critical dates, finance and candidate information.

	Arthur Herman on 1948 & Henry Wallace on National Review Online
		In fact, when Hubert Humphrey complained about the prominent role Communists were playing in the election, Wallace blithely told him to go talk to the Russian embassy — it had more influence over his campaign officials than he did.
		Humphrey remains a hero to liberals for his tough speech on civil rights in the 1948 Democratic-party convention — the same speech, ironically, that caused southern Democrats to walk out and launch Strom Thurmond as their separate presidential candidate.
		He said, "I'm glad that I stood with Wallace in 1948" and then added: "Twenty four years later I won the Democratic presidential nomination on a similar platform" in 1972 — namely abandoning Vietnam, "bringing the Cold War and the arms race under control," and diminishing America's role in the world.
