Abstract:
|
A statistical perspective on the undervote in the 2000 presidential election suggests that it was the Florida Supreme Court, not the U. S. Supreme Court, that gave the election to Bush. The data also suggest that the U. S. Supreme Court's equal protection rationale for denying a recount was flawed.
