The Gore vs. Bush election has some extra significance to the election that is still going on today.\u00a0 Lawsuits and court battles are keeping Trump and his team in the race when the election is all but over.\u00a0 The Gore vs. Bush election came down to tight margins in Florida, but the Republican held the supreme court.\u00a0 The court essentially decided the election by voting against a proper count of all votes.\u00a0 The politically driven court should not be the deciding factor in an election, because all votes should be counted.\u00a0 The idea that every vote should be counted is simple, yet somehow was put into question again this year.\u00a0 The Trump campaign team tried to call for all votes to stop being counted even though it was established that late mail in votes would be counted in many states.
