21. Machine counting in Florida 2000

was not accurate because it left uncounted about 300,000 votes mostly located in the largest and most heavily democratic voting counties in Florida. Florida election law in 2000 allowed for the hand duplication and counting of ballots that the counting machines could not read. It was the repug Rehnquist 5 who violated the U.S. constitution which clearly gives the states the right to conduct elections by taking away Florida's right to conduct an election who stopped the legal Florida vote count. This is how we got tRump. . tRump's elections overhaul is also unconstitutional because it also takes away the states rights to conduct elections that is specifically given to states in the U.S. constitution.
