The electoral vote was very close and the vote in Florida was especially close. Furthermore, Florida's 25 electoral votes were enough to tip the election. After Bush was certified as the winner in Florida, a recount confirmed the Bush win. However, the Gore team filed suit alleging improprieties in the recount and eventually the Florida State Supreme Court ordered another large recount that could not be completed until late December. The US Supreme Court overruled the recount order and Bush remained the winner in Florida and so won the election.

∙ 12y agoThe usual answer is "the US Supreme Court", because the results were extraordinarily close and led to lawsuits ultimately decided in Bush v Gore in the high court. The 5-4 decision prevented planned manual recounts in the crucial state of Florida. Because the original tally favored George W. Bush, he was elected President over Democratic candidate Al Gore by the electoral college in the usual way after the Florida vote was allowed to stand without further recount.
