Answer 1

Favorite Answer

The Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount and the popular thinking at the time was that Gore would come out on top. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the request to extend the December 12th deadline for a winner to be declared (it was, after all, a federal election and there are dates where the election has to called for the transference of administrations) and the state had to go with the current vote count which favored Bush, hanging chads and all.

In the end -- independent groups did the recount on their own time and dime and Bush actually had more votes than Gore in Florida.
