Nov 26 FL certified for bush Nov 27 Gore sued

Dec 8 FL Supreme ruled for Gore, ordering recount. Dec 9 Bush appealed to SCOTUS. Seems immediate injunction granted. 10-11 Scotus arguments and interim rulings. Dec 12 Scotus rules 'for Bush' stops recount.

Note it was a singular kind of issue - gore got counties to agree to recount after certification, wanted a recount...state supreme agreed, scotus just had to yea/nay if they were within the law.

Imo our situation, multiple states, multiple issues (proving fraud, tossing votes) is a lot more complex...
