| Summary: | "Americans Woke up on November 8, 2000, unsure who their next President would be. A population accustomed to knowing the outcome of electoral contests before the polls closed - and often much earlier than that - would endure another five weeks of high-stakes political and legal maneuvering before the United States Supreme Court stopped recounts in the State of Florida, effectively sealing the race for Texas governor George W. Bush." "The Miami Herald Report, one of the nation's most trusted newspapers investigates the organizational, technological, and institutional shortcomings that plagued the Florida election and resulted in one of the most bitterly contested transfers of power in American history. The Miami Herald which won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on Miami's corrupt 1997 mayoral election, delves into the deeply flawed 2000 contest."--BOOK JACKET |
