History Flashback: How The 2000 Election Results Were Fought In The Courts | NBC News NOW

[Daniel-zppi]

Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

[wellthatgotweird]

I remember that like it was yesterday. I was a senior in high school and confused about how elections really work : I found out that florida does what it wants to do.

[Revilik]

What is with this music!? I thought I had the Sims running in the background or something! Hahaha

[ChrisKoMusik]

Morale of the story:every vote matters

[snoochieboochies]

I was taking this video completely seriously and without any distraction all up until The Sims music started playing in the background

[dvdw]

Anyone else notice 'The Sims' music?

[halflifeproductionz]

It's going to be a recount on multiple states over many months, all the way upto January 20.

[likecandy]

It's non-related subject, but watching these news anchors from the past,
to present, I'm just in awe of how they still look so dignified and looked as
professional as they can ever be. It's really astonishing and an admiration
to watch these people dedicate their lives to the profession, as duty and
obligation to serve the interest of public, for the people.

[chaoflaka]

I love how this video started off with “Good grief...”

[decordsuccessful]

There needs to be a change in our government. We need a man who is up to the job, and up to now we the people don't see anybody.

[Gabowsk]

527 votes deciding for more than 500k votes that voted against. Electoral College at its' finest.

[LeroyBickerstaff-IV]

The butterfly effect of this election is just insane.

[neilrusling]

What you get when your brother rigs the election for you. That result was the start of some truely crappy years and it should have been so different, No Iraq or Afghanstan wars for a start.

[katebrotherton]

I remember this like it was yesterday...I was a senior in high school in FL...17 years old...so I couldn’t vote!

[michael]

If Al Gore won, I wonder how he would have handled 9/11, the war, Katrina and the recession (assuming he would do 2 full terms). Interesting to think about it all.

[EvangelistPrecious]

my entire family has voted include my son in military it is time to make a change in the white house, it has been too much violence across the country this need to stop, ( stop violence ) it is time for a change JOE BIDEN WILL WIN BE NEXT PRESIDENT 2020 , America need to be number one again { GO VOTE } ]]

[westwalk]

Do they keep every vote in storage? Should recount it for history

[redeyejedi]

To me if you don't follow directions your vote shouldn't count at all. I don't care who wins this election but this can never happen again its really embarrassing.

[alishajoy]

I still do not understand how a country with only 330 million inhabitants divided in 50 states cannot get their elections and vote counting together. I live in a country with 80 million in 16 regions and they count within a few hours on a Sunday.

Mail in ballots did more harm than good, we should have just insisted in person votes and only allowed overseas soldiers to do mail in
