Documentary explores 2000 election's wild end
The new HBO documentary "537 Votes" chronicles the unprecedented and highly contested outcome of the 2000 presidential election, which was decided after a weekslong recount in Florida. The film details how the international custody battle over 6-year-old Elián González triggered a political mess in Miami-Dade County in 2000 and may have swayed the election. Director Billy Corben joined CBSN to discuss.
