In the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, more than 175,000 votes were counted as undervotes in Florida. An undervote is a ballot not counted because of unclear marking by the voter. The difference of votes for Florida was 1,784, specifically a three percent difference deciding who won the twenty-five electoral votes. A machine recount is mandatory if the difference is less than five percent [1]. The legitimacy of this election is questionable. Did the Republican party fight dirty for the electoral votes? This vote recount in Florida was undermined by someone whom worked for the Republican party. For instance, the Republicans paid 3.4 million buckaroos to put voters on a purge list [1]. The list left out 699 people from voting
