The Supreme Court Ended A Recount In Florida That Had Stalled The Election -Novanet
George W. Bush won the state of Florida by only 537 votes out of 5,963,110 cast. If Al Gore had won Florida, he would have won the election. It took some time to recount the votes, especially because it was not obvious on a lot of the punch cards that the Florida voters used which candidates the voters wanted.
In Kansas a person can ask for a recount of votes in a certain election. In a countywide election, the person asking for a recount puts up what amounts to the cost of the recount in cash or bond to get the election office to hold the recount. All ballots in that race are recounted. That may mean all ballots are run through the electronic election ballot counting machine, or counted by hand. If the recount has unchanged results the person who ordered the recount looses the bond. If the recount shows a change in count of the particular race, the county stands the cost and the results are changed by the canvassing board (county commission).
The results of the 2000 U.S. presidential election were not officially determined until December 12, 2000, following a contentious legal battle over the Florida vote recount. The election took place on November 7, 2000, meaning it took 35 days to resolve the outcome. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore effectively ended the recount and affirmed George W. Bush's victory.

the Supreme Court halted the recount in Florida
The Supreme Court does not have the power to appoint a president. You are probably referring to the election of 2000 when a portion of the Supreme Court denied another recount in Florida where the election was close . Florida's votes went to George W. Bush and he needed them to win the election. Later recounts seemed to indicate that Bush won, but some still say the election was decided by the court. Or in 1876, a panel which included five Supreme Court Justices and 10 Congressmen ruled on the credentials of several electors and ruled all the disputes in favor of Rutherford Hayes, giving him the election. Both Bush and Hayes lost the popular vote.
