Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election is the riveting story of the undermining of democracy in America. Focusing on events leading up to election day and the foiled attempt to count legally cast votes, it examines the suspicious pattern of irregularities, injustices and voter purges in Florida — a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election no one is sure who won.

1. That video came up in discussion yesterday on DU.

It encouraged me to take it down from the shelf and go through it again. My blood is STILL all aboil! Checking Amazon to include the reviews in my reply posting, I discovered that it had been updated to include the 2004 election: http://www.amazon.com/Unprecedented-2000-Presidential-Election-Campaign/dp/B0001Y4LZA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1212429893&sr=1-1
Got that one on order now.

So early this morning I went down to check my mailbox, and found another DVD there: "American Blackout". Here it is at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/American-Blackout-Cynthia-McKinney/dp/B000GYHRHE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1212430176&sr=1-1

My blood is STILL all aboil, and non-stop! Check them both out.

2. Not at all unprecedented.

Florida was also involved in the rigging of the 1876 election, and the subsequent end of Reconstruction.
