Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) was an unsigned Per Curiam decision that was intended as an exception, not precedent. The Court wrote, "Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances, for the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents many complexities."
No. An interim order is intended to be temporary, until the final ruling is made, and cannot be used as a precedent. If the final decision is made Per Curiam (unsigned by the Court), it can't be used as a precedent, either. Only a final, signed decision with no restrictions (such as in Bush v. Gore, (2000), where the Court narrowly applied their ruling to the instant case only) can be cited in case law.
Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) was issued as an unsigned Per Curiam decision. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote the majority opinion.For more information, see Related Links, below.

In the 2000 election, George W. Bush, the Republican candidate, won a highly contentious race against Democratic candidate Al Gore. The election famously hinged on the state of Florida, where a narrow margin led to a controversial Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore, effectively awarding Bush the presidency by halting a recount. Bush's campaign focused on tax cuts, education reform, and a strong stance on national security. Ultimately, he won the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote, receiving 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266.

In Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) George W. Bush was the petitioner; Al Gore was the respondent. The case involved manual ballot recounts in the State of Florida following the 2000 Presidential Election.
In the landmark case Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of George W. Bush, effectively ending the Florida recount and ensuring his victory in the 2000 presidential election. The Court's decision was issued on December 12, 2000, and it determined that the inconsistent standards used in the recount violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. As a result, Bush was awarded Florida's electoral votes, which secured his presidency.
