Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), is a landmark United States Supreme Court case decided on December 12, 2000. The case effectively resolved the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush. Only eight days earlier, the United States Supreme Court had unanimously decided the closely related case of Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, 531 U.S. 70 (2000), and only three days earlier, had preliminarily halted the recount that was occurring in Florida.

  • Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), is a landmark United States Supreme Court case decided on December 12, 2000. The case effectively resolved the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush. Only eight days earlier, the United States Supreme Court had unanimously decided the closely related case of Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, 531 U.S. 70 (2000), and only three days earlier, had preliminarily halted the recount that was occurring in Florida. In a per curiam decision, the Court in Bush v. Gore ruled that the Florida Supreme Court's method for recounting ballots was a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court also ruled that no alternative method could be established within the time limits set by the State of Florida. Three concurring justices also asserted that the Florida Supreme Court had violated Article II, § 1, cl. 2 of the Constitution, by misinterpreting Florida election law that had been enacted by the Florida Legislature. The decision allowed Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris's previous certification of George W. Bush as the winner of Florida's electoral votes to stand. Florida's 25 electoral votes gave Bush, the Republican candidate, 271 electoral votes, defeating Democratic candidate Al Gore, who ended up with 266 electoral votes (with one D.C. elector abstaining). A majority (270) of the electoral votes is needed to win the Presidency or Vice Presidency in the Electoral College.
  • Bush v. Gore war ein Gerichtsfall, der vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten verhandelt wurde. Er erregte in den Vereinigten Staaten enormes öffentliches Aufsehen, weil mit dem endgültigen Gerichtsurteil vom 12. Dezember 2000 die Präsidentschaftswahl in den Vereinigten Staaten 2000 zugunsten des Republikaners George W. Bush entschieden wurde. Es war das erste Mal in der Geschichte des Supreme Court, dass er mit seinem Urteil unmittelbar eine Präsidentschaftswahl entschied. Das juristisch komplexe Urteil stieß mehrheitlich auf Kritik und schwächte das Ansehen des Gerichts.
  • L'Arrêt Bush v. Gore, rendu par la Cour suprême des États-Unis le 12 décembre 2000, met un terme aux recours et aux contestations consécutifs à l'élection présidentielle américaine de 2000 et aux recomptages des voix en Floride. Il permet l'élection de George W. Bush à la présidence des États-Unis au détriment d'Al Gore.
  • ブッシュ対ゴア事件 (Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98) は、アメリカ合衆国最高裁判所（連邦最高裁）が2000年12月12日に判決を下した訴訟事件である。この判決により、2000年アメリカ合衆国大統領選挙が、ジョージ・W・ブッシュの勝利に終わることとなった。この判決のわずか8日前に、連邦最高裁は、密接に関係した事件であるブッシュ対パームビーチ郡選挙委員会 (Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, 531 U.S. 70) について全員一致の判決が下されている。また、わずか3日前には、連邦最高裁はフロリダ州で行われていた票の数え直しを停止する予備的命令を出していた。 連邦最高裁は、7対2の多数による匿名意見の中で、フロリダ州最高裁の命じた投票の数え直しの方法はアメリカ合衆国憲法修正第14条の平等保護条項に違反すると判示した。また、5対4の多数で、フロリダ州によって設定された期限内には、代わりの手段をとることは不可能であると判示した。賛同意見を述べた裁判官のうち3名は、フロリダ州最高裁は同州の議会が制定した選挙法の解釈を誤っており、合衆国憲法2条1節2項にも違反しているとの意見を述べた。 この判決により、フロリダ州州務長官キャサリン・ハリス が先に行っていた、ブッシュをフロリダ州の選挙人投票の勝者と認める旨の認証が維持された。フロリダ州の25票の選挙人投票が加わることで、共和党候補のブッシュは271票を獲得することになり、266票に終わった民主党候補のアル・ゴアを破った（ワシントンD.C. の選挙人1名は棄権）。なお大統領・副大統領選挙に勝つためには、選挙人団の中で多数である270名が必要である。
  • Bush v. Gore var en domsslutning (531 U.S. 98) i USAs høyesterett 12. desember 2000, som avgjorde valgresultatet ved presidentvalget i USA i 2000 til fordel for George W. Bush. Med 7 mot 2 stemmer vedtok høyesterett at Floridas høyesteretts metode for nyopptelling av stemmer fra valget var grunnlovsstridig. Samtidig vedtok høyesterett med 5 mot 4 stemmer at ingen alternativ metode for sikker fastslåelse av valgresultatet i Florida kunne gjennomføres innen tidsfristen for Floridas valglovgivning. Dommens juridiske holdbarhet er omstridt. Med de 25 valgmennene fra Florida fikk dermed Bush 271 stemmer i valgmannsavstemningen, mot Albert Gores 266 endelige stemmer. Domsslutningen avgjorde dermed valgutfallet.
