In the presidential election of 2000, Gov. George W. Bush lost the popular vote to former Vice President Al Gore but won the electoral vote for U.S. president. Bush won the presidency after a mandatory recount in Florida, and an additional hand recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court was ruled unconstitutional.

Therefore the best answer choice is:
The Supreme Court ordered a stop to the recount of votes in Florida and George W. Bush won the presidency although he lost the popular vote.
