Well Brent you moron, Gore wanted to selectively count votes in counties that were overwhelmingly in his favor to get more votes. He wasn’t interested in recounting votes in counties that leaned the other way. In addition he wanted different rules used for the “under vote” in those same counties that leaned towards him and to continue to use the original rules in the counties that were the other way. In other words, he wanted to cheat. The supreme court put and end to it because it is unconstitutional to purposely count some of the state’s votes differently (apply the law differently) than other parts of the same state - all to slant the outcome.
Those weren’t Brent’s words, but Danny Strong’s (the writer of the movie).
