The George W. Bush Years

Large wooden map of the state of Florida used on CNN studio set during coverage of 2000 U.S. presidential election. Because of the extreme closeness of the race in Florida and the ensuing legal battles over the counting of the ballots, the state became the focus of the nation during the month following election night, November 8, 2000.

This map was referred to as a prop, when coverage of ballots from different counties from around the state was mentioned on the air. It became a prominent part of the political set throughout the recount.
