Staring - Kevin Spacey



Recount chronicles the Bush v. Gore case between (then) Governor of Texas George W. Bush and (then) Vice President Al Gore. It begins with the election on 7 November and ends with the Supreme Court ruling which stopped the Florida election recount on 12 December. Key points depicted include Gore's retraction of his personal telephone concession to Bush in the early hours of November 8; the decision by the Gore campaign to sue for hand recounts in Democratic strongholds where voting irregularities were alleged, especially in light of the statistical dead heat revealed by the reported machine recount; Republican pressure on Florida’s Secretary of State Katharine Harris in light of her legally mandated responsibilites; the attention focussed on the hand recounts by media, parties, and the public; and finally the adversarial postures of the Supreme Courts of Florida and the United States, as well as the dissenting opinions amongst the justices of the higher court.
