Compared to the 1876 and 1888 elections, the 2000 election was pretty tame. I cannot even comprehend what would have happened if the "Compromise of 1877" had been repeated for the 2000 election.
I still think Fox screwed the country by calling Florida an hour before the polls on the panhandle closed. The voting margin in panhandle probably would have erased the dispute and allowed for an easier transition. That lack of a proper transition cost us in Asian politics (NK) and probably didn't help our readiness for 9/11.
