Answer:
Eventually, the legal battle made it to the Florida Supreme Court, which ordered a recount of undervotes — ballots not counted because something is unclear — throughout the state. Bush appealed the recount, which moved the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. After some back and forth between the state and national Supreme Courts, the recount was deemed unconstitutional and the process was halted. In the pre-recount results, Bush had the lead, so he won.
