The film "Recount" tested the legitimacy of the 2000 election for president between Al gore and George W. Bush. personally the film seemed a little over the top with being really sided with the liberals.

In my opinion, I believe that when it comes to the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, Gore was the true champion.

Levine predicted that, “In the not very distant future the candidate who loses at the polls will become the president of the United States.” Abbott and Levine framed this possibility as the “coming constitutional crisis,” and made ominous predictions about the effect that such an outcome would have on the American public.

Texas was not always the conservative and mainly Republican state as most people know it to be today. Before the 1970s, Texas was predominantly Democratic. For many years before the 70s very few Republicans were elected or held office. However, that all began to change. During the 70s and 80s there were a lot of people migrating into Texas. These people heard about the money they could make off of Texas’s farm land, cattle industry, oil and steel industry. These people had a little bit more…
