In the first episode of The Campaign Trail, Elections Daily covers one of the most controversial elections of all time - the 2000 presidential contest between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush.

Despite narrowly losing the popular vote, Bush managed to eke out an electoral college win thanks to a 537-vote win in Florida. The ensuing controversy and lawsuits changed American politics forever. The Campaign Trail is a production of Elections Daily, a nonpartisan site dedicated to providing the best in coverage on elections, election mapping, and politics in general.
