<Reporter> In the
2000 US presidential election, between Republican candidate George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore, Florida was the biggest match.
There are 270 electors needed to win the election, but Bush secured 246 electors and Gore secured 255.
Florida's 25-member electoral squad was decisive, and only 1,700 votes were won.
At the end of the recount, the difference in votes again decreased to 300 votes, and fierce court battles over the criteria for determining validity votes continued.
The Supreme Court overturned the Florida Supreme Court's ruling and ordered it to stop recounting, ending with Bush's victory in 35 days.
At the time, the Federal Supreme Court declared that the deadline for electing the electoral team had passed, so further recounting was unconstitutional.
