Gore: Exposing the Growing Crisis in American Democracy","description":"Who could forget the Supreme Court's controversial 5-4 decision in \u003ci\u003eBush v. Gore\u003c\/i\u003e or the 2000 presidential campaign and election that preceded it? Hanging chads, butterfly ballots, endless recounts, raucous allegations, and a constitutional crisis were all roiled into a confusing and potentially dangerous mix--until the Supreme Court decision allowed George W. Bush to become the 43rd President of the United States, despite losing the popular vote to Al Gore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraised by scholars and political pundits alike, the original edition of Charles Zelden's book set a new standard for our understanding of that monumental decision. A probing chronicle and critique of the vexing and acrimonious affair, it offered the most accurate and up-to-date analysis of a remarkable episode in American politics. Highly readable, its comprehensive coverage, depth of documentation and detail, and analytic insights remain unrivaled on the subject. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this third expanded edition Zelden offers a powerful history of voting rights and elections in America since 2000. Bush v. Gore exposes the growing crisis by detailing the numerous ways in which the unlearned and wrongly learned \"lessons of 2000\" have impacted American election law through the growth of voter suppression via legislation and administrative rulings, and, provides a clear warning of how unchecked partisanship arising out of \u003ci\u003eBush v. Gore\u003c\/i\u003e threatens to undermine American democracy in general and the 2020 election in particular.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eZelden, Charles L.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Charles L.
