Charlie Rose recently hosted an interesting discussion about the HBO film Recount with Kevin Spacey, Jeffrey Toobin, Senior Legal Analyst at CNN and David Boies, Al Gore's attorney during the 2000 recount proceedings.
The discussion centered around an interview given by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the veracity of the film, and dives back into the "what ifs" of Al Gore's bid for the White House.
Recount chronicles the five weeks between the Nov. 7, 2000, presidential
election between George W. Bush and Al Gore and the December Supreme
Court ruling that upheld Florida's count and gave Bush the White House. During that election, a number of Florida counties encountered difficulties with their voting machine counts and a legal battle ensued over whether or not the state of Florida should engage in a hand recount to compensate for the inability of the voting machines to read the dimpled and hanging chads - pieces of the voting punch cards.
