Oct 17, 2024

Sarah and David are joined by Leon Neyfakh—host of Fiasco podcast and co-creator of Slow Burn—to explain what really happened in December of 2000 when the Supreme Court halted the Florida recount.

The Agenda:

  • Butterfly ballots
  • Dimpled, hanging, and pregnant chads
  • Independent state legislature theory
  • Who would’ve won anyway?
  • Elián González
  • The Brooks Brothers riot
  • Was Bush v. Gore cynical?
  • Two First Amendment updates
