Election of 2000

We've been going over the Bush-Gore controversy in class and I guess I never realized how intense things got there for a while in 2000. I was only ten, so I imagine a great deal of the drama was lost on me. I didn't realize that it went all the way to the Supreme Court. I guess I just imagined that the whole ordeal involved smart people sitting around a table recounting contested votes. The 2000 election was close and politically violent. I wish I could remember more of how I felt on the issue.
