The "Florida Recount" refers to the process of reviewing and verifying votes in the state of Florida during close elections. This often occurs when the margin of victory is very small, prompting candidates or election officials to ensure that every vote is accurately counted. Recounts can involve various methods, including manual counting of ballots or using machines to recheck results. The most notable instance of a Florida recount occurred during the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. The election was decided by a mere 537 votes in Florida, leading to a contentious recount process that ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court's decision effectively awarded the presidency to Bush, highlighting the significance of accurate vote counting in close elections.
