Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election

Unprecedented The 2000 Presidential Election is a 2002 47minute documentary made by Richard Ray Prez and Joan Sekler, and narrated by Peter Coyote, about the contested 2000 presidential election in Florida.

Unprecedented chronicles irregularities in the 2000 US presidential election in the swing state of Florida.The film begins with claims that African Americans and other likely Democratic voters were disenfranchised by a resurrected 1868 law that prevented felons from voting. This law was originally intended to keep blacks from the polls, in the wake of the Civil War. In 2000, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris used the original law to create a computerized list of supposed excons. The list had the vaguest parameters, and included as many as 57,000 to 91,000 nonfelons, who were overwhelmingly people of color. On election day, these people were turned away at the polls. Since 90 of African Americans vote Democratic, this effectively reduced the number of votes for Democratic candidate Al Gore. ........
