"in the 2000 presidential election, after more than a month of ballot counting, recounting, lawsuits, and court decisions, bush was certified as the winner of florida's 25 electoral votes by __________ popular votes."
This election was one of the most controversial in United States history. The inaccuracy of the original Florida count caused several months of action to correct the issue. Ultimately, this state being won by George Bush gave him just enough electoral votes to be officially named the winner of the election.
