History

Historical Context

The 2000 Florida recount ended when the U.S. Supreme Court stopped a statewide review on Dec 12 2000, certifying George W. Bush’s 537-vote margin. Secretary of State Katherine Harris’s certification turned Florida into a lasting swing state. In 2024, Republicans Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. David Jolly and VP nominee J.D. Vance are mobilizing voters for the Nov 3 election, fearing another razor-thin outcome could again decide national power.
