THE passions that swirled around Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court case that ended 10 years ago today, dissipated quickly. Remarkably little damage was done by the institutional collisions that resulted when control of the nation's top political office turned on 537 votes out of 5,963,110 cast in Florida. Many controversies concerned whether particular votes were cast properly. Chads are those bits of paper that, when a ballot is properly cast by puncturing spots, are separated from the ballot. In Florida, there were "dimpled" chads that were merely dented, and "hanging" chads not separated from the ballots. Furthermore, there were undervotes (ballots with no vote for president) and overvotes (votes for two presidential candidates) and ill-designed butterfly ballots. The post-election lun...

First, and of lesser importance, is that lingering business of how the Independent could possibly have endorsed Republican Bill Fletcher for this post, given his wing-nuttery on the issues of gay rights and sex education. So when I say, as I'm about to, that Fletcher's got a point in all his court appeals, I know I'm going to hear it again from my progressive friends what a whack job it was that we didn't back June Atkinson, the Democrat, and how sad that we've never since called on Fletcher to concede defeat. Anyway, if you're reading this, you doubtless know that the General Assembly, when it was seated in January, promptly intervened. Very interesting state Supreme Court decision, the legislature said, but it's wrong-o. We wrote the law on provisional ballots, and we wanted them coun...
WASHINGTON The passions that swirled around Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court case that ended 10 years ago today, dissipated quickly. And remarkably little damage was done by the institutional collisions that resulted when control of the nation's supreme political office turned on 537 votes out of 5,963,110 cast in Florida.
In 2000 the world watched as then-Governor George W Bush and Vice President Al Gore challenged the results of the presidential election all the way to the Supreme Court. The High Court issued two opinions on the election and courts at the state and federal levels all weighed in with numerous rulings. The second Supreme Court decision in Bush v Gore brought the 2000 election to an end. But it did little to quell concern that this type of litigation might become the norm. The increase in post-election challenges is a trend that is likely to continue into 2008. Its roots lie in the Bush/Gore election decided by the Supreme Court and the electoral reform movement that followed. There is no way to eliminate post-election disputes entirely. But if the concept of using alternative dispute reso...
