We’ve never been contacted by the makers of HBO’s upcoming Recount<\/i><\/a> film, which promises to be a theatrical re-telling of the 2000 Presidential Election Debacle in Florida. Yet, we’ll chalk it up to one helluva\/swelluva coincidence, that the preview for the film, as seen below, happens to use The BRAD BLOG’s<\/a> own personal “theme song,” Stuck in the Middle With You<\/i>. Go figure…<\/p>\n

HBO’s film begins airing May 25, and while we hate to give away the ending, Al Gore won [PDF]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, that’s only if one bothers to count all of the ballots actually successfully cast (if not counted) in the state of Florida, as a media and academic consortium did, as seen at the link above, revealing that by every possible chad-counting standard (hanging, pregnant, swinging, etc.) Al Gore received more votes than George W. Bush. Period.<\/p>\n

That might help to explain why Bush had to go to his friends on the Supreme Court to get them not<\/i> to allow the ballots to be counted, in one of the most remarkably liberal<\/i> acts of judicial activism<\/i>, undercutting states’ rights, in the history of this nation.<\/p>\n

But we’re guessing the film has that other, less accurate ending, implying that Bush actual “won” Florida (which he didn’t).<\/p>\n

In either case, since the myths of the FL 2000 election are likely to be re-debated afresh with the release of HBO’s film, we wanted to a)<\/b> Offer the link above (showing that Gore received more votes in FL than Bush) and b)<\/b> Remind you, and the entirety of the corporate mainstream media, which ignored it when the following report first aired, that the chads on those ballots in Florida hung for a reason. As 7 former employees of Sequoia Voting Systems, the company which produced FL’s paper ballots in 2000, attest on-camera, they were forced by company superiors to use inferior paper for those ballots, only<\/i> the ones going to Florida, and were further ordered to misalign the chads on those paper ballots, but only<\/i> for those going to Dem stronghold Palm Beach County.<\/p>\n

That, after decades of producing ballots which never featured a hanging chad.<\/p>\n

If you’ve yet to see it, here’s the mind-blowing section of Dan Rather’s remarkable HDNet report<\/a> which aired last summer, but was picked up by absolutely nobody<\/i> in the CMSM thereafter. If you can’t watch the following, the transcript is posted here<\/a>. But if you’ve not seen this one yet, please prepare to be amazed, and appalled…<\/p>\n
