Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. The Election of 1800: Teaching about a Critical Moment in the History of American Constitutional Democracy. ERIC Digest. As America approaches its 54th presidential election in 2000, we take it for granted that the candidate who wins that election no matter how partisan or contested it might be will become the 43rd President of the United States following a peaceful transfer of power in a familiar ceremony. Indeed, this sense of inevitability is clear evidence of the strength of constitutional democracy in the United States. Aside from the election of 1860, which led to the Civil War, for two centuries America has met the test that a country is an established democracy when it consistently makes peaceful changes of government via free elections (Huntington 1991, 7-9). But this democratic tradition had to be earned. In 1800 American democracy faced one of its most serious challenges when Republican

Extractions: In public, the Bush position was essentially this: "We’ve won. Gore lost. And while we’re willing to have one recount because the public believes in fairness, don’t expect us to go along with this forever." The Bush team was willing to wait for the absentee ballots, but they objected to a hand recount. That’s because those ballots frightened the Bush camp. On the confusing "punch card" ballots, some voters did not punch through the hole, leaving a little paper flap—known as a chad—hanging. A machine may not recognize this punch as a vote, but a human being might. Democrats argued that they could pick up one or two thousand votes this way. The first reports of the problem with the punchcard ballots came in to Gore headquarters at 6 a.m. on Election Day. "The ballots do not line up in the machine with the correct candidates," said Joan Joseph of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party. "People who think they are voting for Gore could be voting for Pat Buchanan, because the word Democrat is lined up with Buchanan."

Extractions: NON-CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS "I am committed never again to cast a vote for a politician who would kill one innocent baby Some would ask, 'Shouldn't we vote for the lesser of two evils when the choice is between pro-abortion candidates?' I believe not. To compromise on so fundamental an issue gives [pro-life politicians/parties] no incentive to defend the pro-life position". ( Dr. James Dobson , Focus on the Family March, 1995) would you vote for a candidate who would support the killing of 5-year-old boys and girls whose parents no longer wanted them? Would it matter whether or not you agreed with that politician on economic matters or other issues? Would you get under a "big tent" with a party that had this one teeny weeny flaw which they might call "pro-choice on child eradication" within its platform? I pray not." ( Dr. James Dobson
