History

Historical Context

The 2000 presidential race hinged on Florida, where a machine recount narrowed George W. Bush’s lead to just 537 votes out of 5,963,110 cast, prompting the U.S. Supreme Court’s December 12, 2000 decision in Bush v. Gore that halted further review. The controversy spurred the 2002 Help America Vote Act, which modernized voting equipment nationwide and remains cited whenever new fraud allegations, such as today’s claims about Arizona and Georgia, surface.
