On Election Day the results begin to come in.

The state, though, has until November 14th until all votes must be resubmitted, but is later moved back to November 26 by the Florida Supreme Court, but the US Supreme Court vacates that decision. On the 26th the state canvassing board declares Bush the winner of Florida's 25 electors. Gore contests the decision and the battle for Florida heads into December.
