The outcome of the 2000 presidential election was ultimately decided by C. the U.S. Supreme Court.
Election Dispute:
The 2000 presidential election was highly contentious and came down to the results in the state of Florida.
There were disputes over the vote count in Florida, particularly regarding "hanging chads" and other ballot irregularities.
Florida Recount:
Initially, the Florida state court ordered a recount of the votes in certain Florida counties.
This recount process was a significant part of the post-election legal battle.
Supreme Court Intervention:
The Bush campaign filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the recount process violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
They sought an injunction to stop the recount.
Supreme Court Decision:
On December 12, 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision in Bush v. Gore.
The Court ruled that the Florida recount process was inconsistent and lacked clear standards, and therefore, it violated the Constitution.
As a result, the Supreme Court effectively halted the recount in Florida, allowing the previous certified results, which favored George W. Bush, to stand.
Outcome: With the Supreme Court's decision, George W.
Bush was declared the winner of the 2000 presidential election and became the 43rd President of the United States.
It's important to note that this election was unique in modern U.S. history due to the controversy surrounding the Florida vote count and the decisive role played by the U.S. Supreme Court in determining the outcome.
The nationwide popular vote was not the deciding factor in this election; it was the legal battle and the Supreme Court's ruling that ultimately settled the contest.
