The 2000 Election: What's a Chad?

from Who Knew? A History Podcast Hosted by Mrs. Allgood and Mr. Rixon

On November 7, 2000, Americans headed to the polls to cast their vote in the Presidential election, but the voters did not know the result for another 36 days. The story of that election and its hotly contested recount is the topic of our latest episode. We'll briefly discuss the two candidates, Al Gore and George W. Bush, the drama surrounding election night and the subsequent recount in Florida, and how millions of Americans became so familiar with "chads."
