ocrats filed a motion in Flor!
             ida State court. The motion asked for the manual recount of all the votes in Broward County. The next important court battle was the Florida Supreme Court's ruling to end the manual recounts in Miami-Dade County. The ensuing major development was Florida Supreme Court's order of a full manual recount of the 45,000 undervotes. The last and probably most important event of the campaign for the Presidency in 2000 was when the Federal Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to stay the Florida Supreme Court's decision to recount the 45,000 undervotes. Thus handing the Presidency over to Gov. Bush and essentially ending the month long court battles. Although the attorneys for Gore tried to appeal there was really no more chances left for Al Gore's hope to be the nation's next president.
             The Republican National Convention, July 31-August 3:
             The Republican National Convention occurred over four days, with Governor George W. Bush ending the festivities with his Republican Presidential nomination acceptance speech. This was called the least political convention in the party's illustrious history. The fact that it was devoid of too much politics was deliberate of Gov. Bush and his staff. The convention was portrayed more as a celebration than as a means to advertise the party's running platform. It was complete with loud music, light shows, inspirational moments, and celebrities. The delegates were not found speaking out about what rules needed to be more adhered to or what exactly their ideology is, but instead they preached with anti-political themes at the core. Gov. Bush mostly harped on how our country needed leadership and how he had the specific skills needed to lead the country into this new century. He also spoke of his record in Austin having to do with BI-partisanship. How he has reached!
