During the 2000 US Presidential Election, the state of Florida had a ballot recount dispute. This dispute brought about the Bush v. Gore US Supreme Court case which determined that George W. Bush had won the election.
The results of the 2000 election were not determined until the official results in Florida were finalized. There were many challenged votes in Florida. Florida cast its 25 electoral votes for George W. Bush in the 2000 election. The 2000 presidential election popular vote totals in Florida were George W. Bush 2,912,790, Al Gore 2,912,253 and Ralph Nader 97,488.
Florida
The state election results that were under question in the 2000 election were primarily in Florida. The state had a very close margin of victory, leading to a recount. The controversy centered around issues such as punch card ballots, ballots that were not properly counted, and allegations of voter suppression. Ultimately, the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore halted the recount and declared George W. Bush the winner of Florida's electoral votes, giving him the presidency.
Former-President George W. Bush, the petitioner in Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000), claimed the hand recount was being conducted inconsistently, violating Florida voters' Fourteenth Amendment rights under the Equal Protection Clause. He also claimed the Florida Supreme Court decision allowing the hand-recount of disputed ballots created a new election law, which was outside the court's authority.On December 9, 2000, Bush asked for and was granted a stay of execution of the Florida Supreme Court's order, preventing the state from completing the recount by the December 12 "safe harbor" deadline.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

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.
