537 Votes is an HBO original documentary directed by Billy Corben and released on October 21, 2020.

The election was left un-decided during a controversial series of recounts in Florida, which after being stopped by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case Bush v. Gore, eventually resulted in Bush winning with a margin of 537 votes in the state.

[3] In the Chicago Sun-Times, reviewer Richard Roeper gave the documentary a positive review, writing that it "does a brilliant job of laying out the facts, providing invaluable background on late 20th century politics in [Miami-Dade County]" and praising its inclusion of interviews with reporters and political operatives, as well as its use of archival footage.

[2] Writing for CNN, Brian Lowry notes that the film was released shortly before the 2020 United States presidential election, where similar concerns existed.

Lowry writes that the documentary "provides a contextual, nuanced view", and notes that the primary message of the documentary is that while Gore's representative focused on "decorum and democracy", Republicans won the election, and that Democrats "brought the equivalent of a strongly worded letter to a knife fight".
