Why did it take so long to determine a winner in the presidential election of 2000 and the state of Florida?
On Jul 07, 2024
While the race was a narrow one in Florida and raised questions about who actually won the election, the events in Florida in November 2000 also shed light on the shoddy practices and procedures states used to count votes. Confusing ballot design, faulty voting machines, misleading instructions, all created confusions that required a careful accounting to determine voters' intent.

On Jun 06, 2024
A strong answer would include
-an explanation that women received the right to vote in Britain in 1918,though the right was limited by age and property ownership.
-an explanation of how the Sex Disqualification Act of 1919 opened the way for women to enter professions from which they had previously been excluded.
-a discussion of how women were replaced in many jobs by men returning from war and the percentage of women employed declined in the 1920s.
-an acknowledgment that the use of contraceptive devices was finally legalized in Great Britain in 1930.
-a discussion of how more jobs were opened to women in fields that had previously been restricted to men.
