The Democrats disputed the vote count and appealed to state supreme court which ordered a recount. An appeal was made to to the US Supreme Court which ruled against another recount. There were many side angles about election irregularities and decisions over which ballots were spoiled and which were legal.

The phrase "hanging chad" was heard for awhile.
