Forget the hanging chads and butterfly ballots. The Presidential 2000 election is still a mystery to most Americans. What actually happened with the 180,000 uncounted Florida votes that would have elected Vice President Al Gore? And who was responsible for the injustice? Was it the disorganized media or the irresponsible state of Florida? "Recount Democracy" investigates charges of disenfranchisement, racial exclusion, voting rights violations and the subverting of a recount in the most contested and controversial election in U.S. history. Nearly a decade later, the story every American must know is told in unflinching detail.
