Ashton Collier · Answer 1

Right choices are:

1. Bush became president.

2. The Florida Supreme Court was overruled.

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court refused to endorse a recount of ballots in Florida, where Republican George W. Bush had won with a reduced margin of votes, thus reverting the decision taken by the Florida court that was favorable to the campaign of Democrat Al Gore. In practice, this handed the election to Bush, guaranteeing him all the electoral votes of Florida and confirming his lead in the nationwide count.
