Who Won the Election of 2000??

from That's History, Babe!

The year 2000. A new millennium and, for America, a new president. But who will the people choose?? Twenty-six years later, we still don’t know. In this episode, Jared and Abe remove their glasses in disbelief as the race between George Bush and Al Gore goes down to the wire in Florida. Recounts. Hanging chads. The Miami Sound Machine. The only thing at stake is the United States of America. Tangents include, but are not limited to, giving out your number at karaoke, fidget rings, bath salts, and which member of the Bush cabinet you’d smoke a blunt with. SOURCES537 VOTES, HBO Documentary https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/butterfly-did-it-aberrant-vote-buchanan-palm-beach-county-florida https://web.archive.org/web/20100731000517/http://www.pbs.org/newshour/media/election2000/election_night.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/10/election.president.02/ https://guides.law.stanford.edu/c.php?g=991108&p=7170216 https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~goguen/courses/275f00/abc-chads.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wufOcpTH0HU&list=PLmZWNw4ieD05KKWV7PbErdHrXS1yQu8hM&index=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWETjjTniWo&list=PLmZWNw4ieD05KKWV7PbErdHrXS1yQu8hM&index=5 https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2002/04/20020430.html https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2000-republican-party-platform THAT'S HISTORY, BABE! is hosted by Abe Merker and Jared Tetreau.
