The 2000 election is one of the Democratic talking points. They just can't get over the fact that Gore lost fair and square. The Florida Supreme Court would have wanted enough recounts to make sure Gore won, even if it took twenty. The DNC would have payed people off in the polling places to punch chads while nobody was looking, so that Gore would have come out ahead in the 21st recount. It just can't happen that way. The F. Supreme Court was not following state law, they were writing law from the bench, an absolute no-no, and the U.S. Supreme Court bitch-slapped them, making sure the correct candidate won the state.

not exactly correct, warham...
the U.S. supreme court's decision said that there was no established procedure for a manual recount. county A in florida could have manually considered a partial-chad vote a proper vote, while county B might've considered it an improper vote. without definitive state-wide policies, BOTH could've been correct at the time.
and THAT, the court said, went against the constitution's equal protection guarantee (in this case, viewed as 1 man, 1 vote). if my vote is not treated the same as your vote, something's fishy.
i voted for gore in 2000. however, i read bush v. gore. and i tend to agree with the ruling.Comment
