George Bush lost the 2000 election by half a million votes. When the state of Florida wanted to recount votes, Bush operatives disrupted the disreputable Florida elections commissions that held the key to a fair count. But there was no point. Lists of felons from the Governor Bush Texas government were used to knock 50,000 legally registered voters off the Florida voting lists. Many of whom were minority voters. Turnout in Florida was very high. Without that preemptive strike, there would have been no recount necessary. Bush would have lost Florida outright. The 2000 election was stolen. (Image)
