10. I suggest you read Jeff Toobin's 'Too Close to Call'

Which is a pretty detailed account of the 2000 election and its immediate aftermath.

While you're at it, I also strongly recommend his book about the OJ trial called 'The Run of His Life,' which is really an amazing read. You'll learn a whole lot of stuff you probably didn't know. Including that OJ was at best semi-literate, he hung almost exclusive with white people, and was quite friendly with the LAPD, who treated him with kid gloves when he was arrested for domestic abuse in the late 1980s. Plus there's Kardashians!

The recount book isn't quite as fun, but it's a great read too. Toobin argues that recount definitely should not have been stopped.
