One unique feature of the presidential election of 2000 between George W Bush and Al Gore is that 1. the Supreme Court played an important role in the final outcome. Normally, if the outcome of the presidential election is not clear, the final decision passes to the House of Representatives for a vote. However, in 2000 the mishandling and miscounting of ballots in Florida resulted in a law suit (Bush v. Gore) and thus the decision over who the electoral votes went to came down to a court decision rather than a House vote.
