Abstract:
The infamous 2000 presidential election produced hanging chads, butterfly ballots, endless recounts, raucous allegations, and a constitutional crisis until a controversial Supreme Court decision allowed Bush to become president despite losing the popular vote to Gore. This book presents a history of this acrimonious affair.
