Original sentence: The so-called Brooks Brothers "riot" was a demonstration at a meeting of election canvassers in Miami on November 19, 2000 that was allegedly orchestrated by astroturfing Republican operatives (the "Brooks Brothers Brigade") who were flown in to "shut down" a hand recount of 10,750 ballots during the Florida recount of the 2000 United States presidential election..  The name refers to a traditional brand of suits associated with conservative business dress and is thus meant to reinforce the allegation that the corporately attired protesters were not, in fact, just ordinary local citizens expressing their concerns about unfair counting practices
