Bushes team in a way bought the Florida Legislator for their decision. The Supreme Court decision allowed the previous vote certification to stand, as made by Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris for George W. Bush as the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes .

It resulted with the United States pulling the last of the troops from the south, ending the Reconstruction Era and giving the south power over their land. Both Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J.
