What is recount of votes?
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).
Why was the 2000 presidential election delayed to reveal the president?
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.
How was the 2000 presidential election decided?
The electoral vote was very close and the vote in Florida was especially close. Furthermore, Florida's 25 electoral votes were enough to tip the election. After Bush was certified as the winner in Florida, a recount confirmed the Bush win. However, the Gore team filed suit alleging improprieties in the recount and eventually the Florida State Supreme Court ordered another large recount that could not be completed until late December. The US Supreme Court overruled the recount order and Bush remained the winner in Florida and so won the election.
