Bush Aide: 2000 Election “Triumph in Democracy”

HeadlineApr 09, 2004

President Bush’s campaign Chairman Marc Racicot visited Florida Wednesday and spoke about the 2000 election. While many supporters of Al Gore and others remember Florida as the place where the vote was stolen, Racicot sees it a bit differently. He said, So much happened and there was so much effort by so many people. To us what happened in Florida was a triumph in democracy. It wasn’t a blemish.” He went on to say “Whenever I think of Florida or come back here, it rekindles within me almost a sense of gratitude about the capacity for this country to endure.”
