a whole recount controversy, voting malfunctions, and basically everything that could go wrong, went wrong. There was a very unusual election in 2000. The two running mates were George Bush and Al Gore. At first cnn had declared Al Gore the President of the United States and then later on changed it to George Bush. After a little while later they changed it to too close to call. There was a big controversy on who the President of the United States was, it all came down to Florida. The recount controversy

I also believe that if the judicial branch, by staying away from politics, is in the rightful position to save the country from political embarrassment, such as the verdict of Bush v.
