“THE GORE EXCEPTION”
A Layman’s Guide
to the United States Supreme Court Decision
in Bush v. Gore
Q: I’m not a lawyer and I don’t understand the recent Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore. Can you explain it to me?
A: Sure. I’m a lawyer. I read it. It says Bush wins, even if Gore got the most votes.
Q: But wait a second. The US Supreme Court has to give a reason, right?
A: Right.
