Racist voter suppression decided the 2000 US presidential election outcome in Florida.

Evidence

U.S. law guarantees the right to participate equally in elections,” the State Department had assured the United Nations. But on November 7, 2000, tens of thousands of Black voters in Governor Jeb Bush’s Florida were barred from voting or had their votes destroyed, allowing George W. Bush to win his brother’s state by fewer than five hundred votes and narrowly take the electoral college. — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 1181
