The USSC decision in Bush v. Gore was actually a bad ruling. Florida should have been left to their own devices, and if the place was so badly run that they couldn’t certify a slate of electors then their electors shouldn’t have been counted. That scenario has taken place at least a couple of times since the country was founded.

The USSC decision in Bush v. Gore was actually a bad ruling.

I was here and I disagree as it was the Florida Supreme Court (FSC), 7 Democrat Appointees, that was delaying a certification already signed by the FL Secretary of State and validated by the Florida House. The FSC kept extending the scope and since Gore was having no luck in his selected 'D' counties, they were discussing a hand recount of all Florida Counties.

The USSC waited until the final day allowed by the US Constitution for the state's Electors to meet, vote and transmit to DC. This is first Monday after the second Wednesday of December and in 2000, that was 18 December and that was when the USSC ruled 7-2 that the FSC was DONE!

So the USSC ruling was to stop an inferior court from delaying a certification of Electors, a normal action within the overall US Judicial System. This year of 2020, the Elector Voting day is 14 December and I just hope it is clean and concise!
