Answer:

A. George W. Bush became president of the United States.

B. Florida was forced to allow third parties on its ballots.

C. The voting age was reduced to 18 for presidential elections.

D. Closed primaries were ruled unconstitutional and banned,​

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court, in a per curiam opinion, ruled that the Florida Supreme Court's decision, calling for a statewide recount, violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling was by a 7–2 vote, though per curiam opinions are usually issued only for unanimous votes.
