17.
There is a call by the Democrats for a recount, because Florida is disputed.
The grounds for both the protest and contest was that these counties: Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade, and Volusia had signs of voting irregularities (including the quality of the voting tabulation machines and that certain types of ballots could possibly be misread by machines). The main type of ballot that was in question was the punch card ballot. The punch card ballot is one where the voter uses a stylus to punch holes, marking their choices. At times the "chad," the piece of paper that is punched may be left hanging, or may still be so attached that only an indentation is left (a “dimple”).
The lack of standards to reassess potential votes had enabled different counties to consider a vote using different methods, making equal treatment of the ballots fall into question, thus clashing with the Equal Protection Clause in the U.S. Constitution (14th Amendment).
The split of the Supreme Court decision appeared deeply partisan-- five conservative leaning judges consenting and four liberal leaning judges dissenting.
