The High Court intervened in Bush v Gore as unfair and unequal standards of ballot counting was still going in to determine whether Bush Jr or Gore had won the state of Florida.
There were different methods and standards of counting ballots in the Florida counties that were still being tabulated at the time the Court intervened. In other words Dems were winging the ballot counting standards as they tried to pull Gore slightly enough ahead of GWB to claim that Gore won FL thereby handing Dems the Presidency...
Supreme Court stopped the hanky panky and Bush was declared the narrow winner of FL’s electoral votes.
BOOM !!!
There was nothing long and drawn out about it.
Stopped the attempted steal BEFORE it could happen...
The supreme court in Bush v. Gore acted on a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of Florida. It was a normal appeal from the highest court in the State, pursuant to 28 USC 1257. It was normal supreme court procedure. The fact it went through the Florida State Court system faster than normal was of no consequence.
