Florida
The controversial presidential victory of George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election was largely attributed to the state of Florida. There were issues with the voting count in Florida, particularly with the infamous "hanging chads" on punch-card ballots and allegations of voter suppression. The election results in Florida were extremely close, ultimately leading to a legal battle and the decision of the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore to end the recount, giving Bush the victory in Florida and thus the presidency.
