In the 2008 Presidential Election, Vice President Al Gore ran for the Democrats and George W. Bush ran for the Republicans. Many believe that Florida determined the 2008 race, resulting in Bush winning the election. It was alleged that "hanging chads," could have resulted in inaccurate machine counts. Gore sued for a recount, Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris (Laura Dern) is pressured to call for a recount, the Florida and U.S. Supreme courts do not agree on what circumstances should sanction the Florida recount.
At the time, Bush's brother, Jeb was the governor of Florida, Republican Katherine Harris was Florida's Secretary of State (Laura Dern). Excellent way to learn about the election and understand why a "hanging chad" became such a topic of conversation.
