Question 14 • US History

Following the 2000 presidential election, the Bush campaign

Answer
A
appealed the Florida Supreme Court’s decision to allow a hand recount.
B
asked the Florida Supreme Court to order a hand recount of the ballots.
C
rejected the decision of the US Supreme Court on the hand recount.
D
decided a hand recount could not be done in time for the Electoral College vote.

Explanation

The Florida Supreme Court allowed additional hand recounts of ballots, and the Bush campaign appealed that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court later halted the recount, so choice C is wrong: the campaign did not reject the Court’s decision.
