We felt like we had won.

And when we got there and there were all these contests and all these questions, we thought

that there was an effort in place to steal the election.

Hey, fiasco listeners.

This is Leon Nefok. I hope you enjoyed listening to Bush v. Gore.

Now that you've heard the whole show, we wanted to share with you some bonus material related to the 2000 election that we collected during our reporting process.
