Bush vs. Gore

Gore Wins! Wait.... Oops.

Dec 11, 2000

Gore gets voted as the official president. That was correct until they started counting the ballets in Florida and realized how close it was. At night, everyone thought that Gore was their president and in the morning, they woke up with Bush as their president.

Supreme Court Steps In

Dec 12, 2000

Florida's votes were recounted after the allowed time had already past for the votes to be in. The Supreme Court steps in to review the legal conflics that arose from all of the confusion.

Recount!

Dec 19, 2000

The Supreme Court devised a plan to recount all ballots in the state of Florida.

Hold On!.. Forgot about the 14th Amendment!

Dec 22, 2000

The 14th Amendment about the Equal Protection Clause made the recount unfair. The Court had a 5-4 vote to put a stop to the recounting in Florida.

Result

Dec 23, 2000

The 5-4 vote was speculated to have been a political decision, not a judicial decision. People worried the Courts had gone too far with their involvement, while others were releaved that the stress was now over.
