It's December 12th. In 2000, the contested election between Bush and Gore finally comes to a close with a Supreme Court ruling -- and a concession speech.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Leon Neyfakh to discuss Gore's speech, in which he deferred to both the court's ruling and the election process, while also calling to a higher ideal of preserving American democracy. But was he too deferential to the norms at the expense of the right outcome?

Leon's FIASCO series "Bush v Gore" is now available everywhere you listen to your podcasts!
