Bush v. Gore was decided by The U.S. Supreme Court in favor of George W. Bush who became the 43rd President of the United States. Close election polling results in Florida began a progression of lawsuits that ended in certification of Florida's votes in favor of George W. Bush. That, in turn, granted enough electoral votes for Bush's presidential victory.Wikipedia: Bush v Gore
