Steal This Vote
I'm blogging this bit from Krugman's piece mostly because I want to make a note to read the book sometime. As Krugman hints elsewhere in the piece, simmering election scandals is merely one pot of many that's going to boil over once we see regime change in the US.
In his recent book "Steal This Vote" – a very judicious work, despite its title – Andrew Gumbel, a U.S. correspondent for the British newspaper The Independent, provides the best overview I've seen of the 2000 Florida vote. And he documents the simple truth: "Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election."
