The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Bush v. Gore (2000) that the Florida Supreme Court's plan for recounting ballots violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court found that the lack of uniform standards in the recount process led to unequal treatment of voters, which was unconstitutional. This ruling effectively ended the recount and resulted in George W. Bush winning Florida's electoral votes and the presidency.
