What's the real story behind the 2000 presidential election fiasco?
Hanging Chads presents candid and insightful interviews with key
figures in the post-election recount in Florida, which decided
whether Al Gore or George W. Bush would win the closest
presidential contest ever. The book features an introduction that
clearly explains the often complex and convoluted legal
manoeuvering that occurred during those tense thirty-six days of
the recount, a timeline laying out the sequence of events, a cast
of characters that identifies the key players on both sides, and a
glossary of the court cases and legal terminology that came into
play. Pleasants interviews the two main Florida lawyers, Dexter
Douglass for Gore and Barry Richard for Bush, and discusses the
decision-making process with three judges involved in key cases.
The book includes the viewpoint of the press and key political
players like Tom Feeney, the Florida legislature's Speaker of the
House, and Mac Stipanovich, a key political advisor to Katherine
Harris. In addition, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections
Theresa LePore explains why she chose the infamous butterfly ballot
that sent the whole process into motion. Providing a unique and
balanced insiders' view of one of the most important events in
recent history, Hanging Chads is a must-have for students and
historians of American politics.
