The article presents incidents related to the U.S. Politics. U.S. President George W. Bush presents the idea of electoral reform. Cancel the election. The Florida legislature's move to choose the state's electors and declare George W. Bush the next President is only the latest of Bush's attempts to short-circuit electoral due process, raising the stakes in the Florida recount far beyond the interests and limitations of Al Gore. Bush's premature declaration of victory, the bare-knuckle tactics employed by his camp through the initial recount and now the legislature's attempt to pre-empt voters altogether have laid down a chilling marker. Another incident refers to the parole hearing of the Mumia's Abu-Jamal in federal court in Philadelphia.
