It's worth taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidentia...

It's really not clear who should have won. There are different outcomes from different groups with different, but reasonable, interpretations of what the voter intended.

I was too young to understand it at the time, but now I realise how difficult of a situation that was.

It's hard too see through all of the partisanship at the time.
