2/ In fact that’s exactly what they did in 2000 when SCOTUS overrode ruling of the Florida Supreme Court that they would re-count all their votes.(On later recount, Gore won) Then retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said later she regretted her vote. The Iraq War was a result.

The difference in this week's case is that one state sued another regarding how they hold their elections. 2000 FL case came from the campaign.
