On Friday you will watch the 50-minute film, "Unprecedented." Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election is the riveting story about the battle for the presidency in Florida and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray Perez and Joan Sekler examine modern America’s most controversial political contest: the 2000 election of George W. Bush. What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election marred by suspicious irregularities, electoral injustices, and sinister voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate’s brother.

Please write a blog post that reflects your reaction to this film and the events of the 2000 election that it reveals. Focus on answering these questions: Can this happen again? Has anything been done to prevent this from happening again?
