Election 2000

I'm so angry, it's time to change I'm so angry, it's time to change

Ever since the 2000 elections I've been angry -- not just at the government but at all of us Americans.
  • Let's abolish the Electoral College

    Created to protect the slave states, it is championed now by conservatives who fear the power of America's true majority. It's time to ditch the antiquated way we choose presidents.
  • The ultimate candidate?

    Controversial former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris is running for Senate.
  • The other guy Democrats love to hate

    In an interview with Salon, Ralph Nader rejects the spoiler label and says Democrats "need to stop their whining and go to work."
  • Antonin Scalia, self-made martyr

    He could have been the next chief justice. Today, he's just a poster boy for intolerance, vitriol and questionable ethics.

  • Florida, again

    The 2004 presidential race could turn on the Sunshine State, just as it did in 2000. And the early evidence suggests Bush is in big trouble.
  • Crashing the party once again

    Ralph Nader's sudden cameo in the presidential race comes as a delightful surprise -- just not for Democrats.
  • Florida all over again?

    Partisan infighting, a crucial election, dubious voting machines -- now it's California, and the Rehnquist gang may decide this one, too.
  • Goofus Al and Gallant George

    In 2000, the media hounded Al Gore over alleged minor exaggerations. So why does it give Bush a pass when he doesn't tell the truth about life-and-death matters like Iraq and tax policies?
  • The future face of American justice

    If the Supreme Court justices who handed Bush the presidency retire during his term, not only will they spark a virtual civil war, they'll destroy the integrity of the high court.
  • Will John Ashcroft really probe Florida's voter purge lists?

    A day after the Justice Department announced lawsuits over Florida's 2000 presidential vote, Democrats remain skeptical about whether the suits will touch on the most explosive issues.
  • "The Spy Who Wasn't" and "Vote of No Confidence"

    By Eric Boehlert and John W. Dean
  • Vote of no confidence

    A self-described "election junkie" surveys dozens of books about the 2000 presidential contest and arrives at some troubling conclusions.
  • Down and dirty

    The release of the Civil Rights Commission report on the Florida election turns into another partisan catfight.
  • The Florida recount continues!

    And according to the latest numbers, Bush has regained a narrow lead.
  • Gore moves ahead in Florida recount

    If you count dimpled chads plus the votes the Florida Supreme Court gave him, the vice president is leading Bush by 96 votes in the latest tallies.
  • The media moves in

    As the press begins to recount ballots in Florida, the Republicans cry foul.
  • Two nations, once again

    By Eric Boehlert
  • Now what?

    Salon panelists look ahead to the Bush years
  • Supreme Court to democracy: Drop dead

    By Gary Kamiya
  • And the winner is: Al Gore

    By Joan Walsh
  • Supreme Court to democracy: Drop dead

    With a single rash, partisan act, the high court has tainted the Bush presidency, besmirched its own reputation and soiled our nation's proudest legacy.
  • A divider, not a uniter

    Thanks to his post-election power grab, George W. Bush becomes a president who lost the popular vote -- a man without a mandate.
  • A principled ruling to some, a disaster to others
