The correct answer is (A). We know that G.W. Bush became President, and this is only possible when the majority of the electoral college votes for a candidate: Bush won the electoral college. Most often, the popular vote and the electoral college vote are aligned, but in 2000 they had different outcomes. To add to the controversy, the electoral college vote did not occur immediately after the election as it normally does, because the electors for Florida did not know how the popular vote in Florida (which they were constrained by law to follow) had turned out, due to a large number of mangled paper ballots cast by voters there.The Supreme Court made a final judgment about the outcome of the Florida vote and thus determined the electoral college outcome.
