Answer: The correct answer is D, Declared George Bush the winner when the recount deadline passed. Even though from the school work that I read from, it sounds more C, oh wait never mind, the U.S. supreme court did C, B never happened, and same goes for A never happening.

The correct answer is D, as in the 2000 Election, the State of Florida officials declared George Bush the winner when the recount deadline passed.

Bush won the hard-fought election on Tuesday, November 7, with 271 electoral votes against Gore's 266. During the elections the controversy arose in who had won the 25 electoral votes of Florida (and, therefore, the Presidency), and the process of recounting in that state, since there was a difference of only 0.0092% in favor of Bush.
