EVERY VOTE COUNTS 537 VOTES FLORIDA 2000 JACK YOUNG AL GORE/DNC LAWYER TELLS US WHAT HAPPENED
Young is an expert on electoral recounts, domestic and international. He is currently a Senior Global Election Dispute Resolution Advisor with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). He was part of the team of lawyers working with Al Gore during the Florida Recount in 2000.[2] He is portrayed by Steve DuMouchel in the HBO film Recount. He urged the team to recount the ballots in every single precinct, not just the three counties that were initially selected.
His experience on the 2000 recount inspired him to create the now national Promote the Vote (PTV) program.[3] This program, launched by Young in the Virginia 2001 gubernatorial campaign, placed Democratic attorneys on-site at the polls statewide to help resolve voter registration and ballot concerns quickly and effectively. The DNC adopted the PTV program for the 2004 presidential election, when thousands of attorneys volunteered across the country. It remains in effect today, and is credited for helping secure Obama's victory.
He also worked on the recount that occurred in the 2005 Virginia Attorney General race between Bob McDonnell (R) and Democratic state senator Creigh Deeds (D). McDonnell won by 323 votes in an election in which 1.94 million votes were cast.[6] He was instrumental in the 2008 recount of the election between Tom Perriello and Virgil Goode in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, and also worked on the recount for the 1989 election of Douglas Wilder, who became the first African American governor of Virginia.
