The U.S. Supreme Courtās ruling in Bush v. Gore terminated the recount process in Florida in the U.S. presidential election of 2000. With the election effectively ended, Floridaās 25 electoral votes were awarded to George W. Bush, whose lead in the state stood at 327 votes out of six million cast after a machine recount in November. Floridaās electoral votes enabled Bush to win the presidency. His Democratic opponent, Al Gore, officially conceded on December 13 and stated in a televised address, āWhile I strongly disagree with the courtās decision, I accept it.ā
