In the case of Bush v. Gore, a previous decision from Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board led to some controversy over election laws. The Florida Supreme Court ordered that every county in Florida must manually recount the "under votes" because there were enough ballots to cast a doubt. George W. Bush and his running mate filed a request to review the decision and the u.s supreme court granted this request

The court believed that it was unconstitutional to count the votes again, and the reason was that the justices believed that it was a violation of the 14th amendment and the equal protection clause.

The main issue was that some people believed that that a manual recount violated Article 2 section 1 clause 2 of the U.S constitution. It was also questioned whether recounts will violate the equal protection and due process clause of the constitution.

The immediate effects of this decision were of course past president George W. Bush winning the election. Some of the long-term effects were that the decision created precedent for any disputes in the following years about election laws making the recount unconstitutional, also saying that the past Florida supreme court decision made a new election law which only state legislatures could make.
