Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “How Florida 2000 nearly broke US politics – and why it’s crucial in the 2020 election” – below is their description.
It was 249 v 246 on election night and it all came down to one state: Florida. The networks said Gore had won it, then that it was too close to call, then that Bush had won it – before rowing back once more. The Florida recount saw American democracy tested to the limits, leaving the parties and the country divided – for years to come. With the 2020 election a week away and mail-in ballot rules being debated in court, will there be another contested result this year? We speak to George W. Bush’s trial lawyer, Barry Richard, along with The Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty and Protect Democracy’s Jon Steinham. ——- Watch more of our explainer series here – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXjqQf1xYLQ6bu-iixvoFTVsiXQVlVniX Get more news at our site – https://www.channel4.com/news/ Follow us: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/Channel4News/ Twitter – https://twitter.com/Channel4News
