Today, a special joint session of the US Congress was held to certify the electoral college votes for President and Vice President. Vice President Al Gore presided over the session that announced George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the winners of the election. Host Lisa Simeone talks about the proceeding with NPR's David Welna, where members of the Congressional Black Congress raised objections and ultimately walked out of the session in protest of uncounted popular votes in the state of Florida.
