Part three of our series chronicles the road to Bush v. Gore. For the first time in American history a presidential candidate contests the outcome of an election, leading to a showdown at the United States Supreme Court. Photographers Callie Shell and David Hume Kennerly captured the behind-the-scenes moments with the candidates and their families, as the presidency hung in the balance.
