    While some of the details might have faded with memory, "537 Votes" nicely encapsulates the descent of politics into a blood sport where rivals are viewed as enemies, not opponents. Wherever one falls on the political spectrum, reliving the tumult and mayhem of that campaign it's reasonable to hope the past isn't prologue, and that what happened in Florida two decades ago doesn't serve as the extended trailer for 2020.

    Corben ultimately sticks the landing by encapsulating how politics has descended from a place where political rivals were viewed as opponents, rather than enemies. ... While imperfect, "537 Votes" succeeds in making the tumult and social upheaval of 2000 feel fresh again, while also delivering additional nuance to the story that may have been lost over the last two decades.

    537 Votes gives us a solid recontextualizing of the saga of undervotes, hanging chads and Supreme Court high jinks you think you understand and remember, all through Corben's Floridian perspective. ... I don't know that I've seen/heard it laid out as clearly and unimpeachably as Corben does here. With the help of local political and media figures, he connects a lot of dots.
