    To add in, the court didn’t have the authority to intervene. Congress is supposed to decide elections that are tied or otherwise in doubt.

    And didn’t Gore actually win the recount after all was said and done?

      Yes but he conceded before then.

        Concessions don’t have legal force. The legal force is the state secretary. Or SCOTUS giving itself power.
