A lot of bullshit went down, from confusing ballots, to voter roll purges, to hanging chad, to Roger Stone (yes, that Roger Stone) organizing a “protest” of Republican staffers to disrupt proceedings and cause them to miss a deadline, to ultimately the Supreme Court saying that since Florida did not have a statewide standard for recounts, and to implement one would miss another deadline, they could not perform a recount, giving the electoral votes and the election to Bush.
