Anatomy of a Recount, Bush v. Gore with John Hardin Young
11.5.2018
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Jack Young, of counsel at Sandler Reiff in Washington, DC, and an expert on election law, discusses his work on the 2000 Bush v. Gore recount – from the Gore team’s pre-dawn rush to Tallahassee to its rifts on strategy. Attempts to create a standard by which all “chads” could be judged brought the matter to the courts, beginning what Jack views as unwarranted federal interference in an ongoing state process.
