Was Bush v Gore a decision by the US Supreme Court to decide who would be President?

Yes and no. The 5-4 US Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) didn't directly award the Presidential Election to George W. Bush, but the Court's decision to stop the manual ballot recount in Florida had that effect, and the justices knew it would have that effect because Bush was leading Gore in the State's popular election by a mere 537 votes when the case was appealed.The Supreme Court held a Florida Supreme Court recount of 70,000 disputed ballots violated the constitutional rights of Florida voters under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause because the counting method was arbitrary and inconsistent.When the US Supreme Court reversed the Florida Supreme Court, Bush was awarded Florida's 25 Electoral votes, giving him a total of 271 Electoral votes to Gore's 266, barely enough to put Bush in the White House.For more information, see Related Questions, below.


Why was the 2000 Bush v. Gore Supreme Court decision so controversial?

It hindered the re-vote of the presidential election between the two. If the recount had been allowed Gore may have become our then president, instead of Bush. There were also other different significants that came out of this case.


What did the supreme court rule in bush v gore?

In Bush v Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), the United States Supreme Court, in a per curiam decision, ruled that the Florida Supreme Court's method for recounting ballots was a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, the Court ruled that noalternative method could be established within the time limits set by the State of Florida. Three concurring justices also held that the Florida Supreme Court had violated Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, by misinterpreting Florida election law that had been enacted by the Florida Legislature.
