The US presidential elections of 2000 have been among the most contentious and compelling. This volume is about these elections, from the White House to the State Houses. Who wins and why? What are the salient issues? Crotty and essayists provide eight accounts of what has taken place.

Crotty includes chapters devoted to the Courts unprecedented role in Election 2000, an examination of the public opinion during the key events of the general campaign, as well as a chapter detailing the results of key state and local elections as well as the congressional races.
