What state determined outcome of the 2000 presidential election?

Florida, decided by a mere 537 votes, was the closest state of the 2000 presidential election, and it gave George Bush his win.

∙ 7y agoTechnically the answer, as with all US Presidential elections, is "the electoral college".
However, a case can be made that in fact it was the US Supreme Court, who in a 5-4 decision stopped the recount process in Florida and awarded its electoral votes to George Bush, giving him an absolute majority of the electoral votes. Had the recounts continued, it is possible that the eventual winner of the Florida votes might have been Al Gore, in which case HE would have had an absolute majority of the electoral votes. (It's also possible that Bush actually would still have won Florida ... and therefore the electoral college ... when the recounting was finished, in which case the Supreme Court's decision only sped up the result instead of deciding it). Analyses after the recounts were terminated by the Supreme Court have yielded mixed results. The main problem is that for a number of ballots the voter's intention was less than absolutely clear, and depending on how the "overvotes" (where a voter accidentally marked two candidates, but one more clearly than the other) and "undervotes" (where a voter did not clearly mark any candidate, but indications of an intent to mark one are present) are counted the total could swing either way by a couple of hundred votes ... more than enough to sway the overall result, which was indeed extremely close.
