Hes got that understanding of his responsibility and setting a tone, i think, that becomes an example for all the people who concede after. Senator obama and i have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. Those same things you hear throughout we have fought the good fight. We fought hard, weve come to an end, we accept this result, we will work together. And once this decision is made, we unite behind the man who gets elected. Reporter but not every Election Night has a concession speech. Bulletin, senior gore aide confirms gore withdraws concession. Thats bulletin material with a capital b. Reporter some elections dont even end on Election Night. About ten minutes ago the Vice President did call the governor and retracted his concession. We put florida back in the undecided category. I think like most people in the country, i went to bed with a scene on my tv showing the vote count in florida. I woke up the next morning, turned on my tv and realized that nothing had changed and we still didnt have a president. Reporter moments later, tallahassee attorney got a call from george w. Bushs team. A lawsuit had been filed in palm beach county, and bush needed a lawyer. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, i have with me this afternoon mr. Barry richard of tallahassee, florida.

Reporter the confusion and chaos continued for 36 days, ending only when the United States Supreme Court handed down a 54 ruling stopping a hand recount of ballots in florida, ensuring george w. Bush would win the states e localectors a therefore the presidency. Could what happened in florida back then happen today . This year, several states will count millions more mailin ballots after november 3rd, and that could delay final results for a day or more. Already an excess of 400 lawsuits have been filed about election rules. Unlike in 2000, lawyers for both campaigns stand ready to fight over any perceived infraction. But for former bush attorney barry richard, thats not the biggest difference he sees between this years election and the contest between george w. Bush and al gore. It never even was a consideration for a candidate to say that he wouldnt accept the ultimate results once they were known. We want to make sure the election is honest, and im not sure that it can be. Reporter donald trump as candidate and now president has repeatedly refused to say if he would accept the results of an election he did not win. Because the only way were going to lose this election is if the election is rigged. Remember that. Reporter back in 2000, just a day after the Supreme Courts ruling it seems we have a president. Reporter al gore addressed the nation. Just moments ago i spoke with george w. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States. And i promised him that i wouldnt call him back this time. Let there be no doubt, while i strongly disagree with the courts decision, i accept it. I think it really did put to rest what had been at that point in our modern history the most tumultuous election. Doris Kerns Goodwin says whether we know the winner on Election Night or a day or two later, this years losing candidate has a responsibility greater than any nominee in modern history to help heal the nation or at least try. This is the final responsibility that they have to bear. They had a responsibility to their supporters, a responsibility of trying to win the election. And now the larger responsibility is to help the country get through this moment and finally to bring a closure to it. Now, my friends in a phrase i once addressed to others, its time for me to go.

Joe wagner and megan floyd and life long best friends and coowners of this house with a conspicuously divided front yard. Where are we now with the signs . Weve got three each, right . Theyve been watching each other sign for sign for months and yet somehow have not let the names on the cardboard come between them. I fixed the one too because it broke.
