Trivia: The 2000 case “Bush v. Gore” centered an electoral recount in what state?
Ohio
Nevada
Arizona
Florida
The correct answer is Florida
So why is this answer correct? : The 2000 Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore came down to the state of Florida and it was too close to call. On December 8, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount, but Bush filed a suit to stop the recount, and the Supreme Court allowed it, deciding that the Florida Supreme Court had illegally created new election law when moving forward with the recount. That decision directly led to Bush’s win.
