A. George W. Bush won the votes of states along both coasts

B. George W. Bush received more popular votes than Al Gore, Jr. did

C. The Supreme Court awarded Florida's votes to Al Gore, Jr.

D. The Supreme Court ended the recounting of votes in Florida

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. In the 2000 presidential election, the Supreme Court ended the recounting of votes in Florida.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 2000 was contested between the Democratic candidate Al Gore, at that time vice president, and the Republican candidate George W. Bush, then governor of Texas and son of former President George HW Bush (1989-1993).

Bill Clinton, the outgoing president, vacated the position of president after having served a maximum of two periods allowed by the Twenty-Second Amendment. Bush won the hard-fought election on Tuesday, November 7, with 271 electoral votes against Gore's 266 (with one translucent vote abstained in the official recount).

During the elections the controversy arose in who had won the 25 electoral votes of Florida (and, therefore, the Presidency) and the process of recounting in that state, which was ultimately ended by the Supreme Court of the United States.
