The 43rd President of the United States of America is George W. Bush!!!Bush wins the state of florida at 2:20 a.m. on November 8, 2000 by only 55,001 votes from Florida to be the next President!!!
Congratulations President Bush!!!!!
UPDATE:
3:30 EST The votes of Florida show Bush ahead by only 569 votes with .1 percent left to be counted, and with 30,000 votes from military and foriegn votes still not counted, that should go in in the next few days.
Also it is looking like Gore might win the Popular vote and Bush will win Electoral College votes.
UPDATE:
4:00 a.m. EST Florida has been taken away from Bush to recalcuate the votes. Right now it stands as 126 Bush, 129 Gore.
ok official announcement that florida has been taken away from Bush.
and the margin to get florida is only 1,200 votes from the State of Florida.
There will also be an automatic recount of Florida's votes.
UPDATE:
4:40 EST Only 200 votes in Florida between the two, that will decide the fate of the nation----I guess that stresses the fact that everyone should go out and vote, it will make a difference!!!
Al Gore moves ahead in the Popular vote by 50,000 votes
UPDATE:
5:00 EST. Coverage has stopped on the Election, Gore leading Popular vote by almost 200,000 votes and they will be recalculating Florida's votes. It is still to close to call at this point.
I would have to say that this has been a very exciting night, but I'm very tired and I must be heading to bed, I will finish this report when there is more information to report
UPDATE:
November 9, 2000 . The revote is going to be on hold until Tuesday. Bush is ahead by 229 votes, with one county to go.
