Best Answer

The big dispute occurred over the vote count in Florida. The election was very close and the Florida vote was critical. The governor was Bush's brother and the Secretary of State who certified the vote was a Republican, so the Democrats were suspicious. One topic that made the papers were the "hanging chad" ballots. In some places people voted by punching out holes in IBM cards but some cards were not totally punched out and so did not register in the counting machine.
