The Five Week Recount War following the 2000 presidential election generated tumultuous debate in the courts of justice and the court of public opinion. This debate engaged fundamental issues of democracy, including fairness, equality, and the roles of elected bodies and the courts in interpreting and vindicating the Constitution. Bush v. Gore captures this historic conversation by gathering the landmark legal cases from the Supreme Court of Florida and the U.S. Supreme Court along with the best editorial commentary from prominent journalists and scholars on both sides of the political divide. This web companion includes material from the legal proceedings that played a critical role in the post-election furor, as well as related cases that may help shape the future of electoral reform and the role of the judiciary in elections.
