The electoral vote in Florida. There was an issue with the hanging chads in the paper ballots. In the end, after over a month of uncertainty, the Supreme Courts decision not to hear Gore's on going challenges, Bush won. After the inauguration numerous studies continued the issue, determining that the winner would have been determined by how lenient the standard was for the corrected vote counting.
