***The Florida recount that gave rise to Bush v. Gore has had extra resonance for both sides this election, the most litigated in recent history, with more than 400 suits filed.
Even 20 years later, Democrats still harbor bitter memories from the court’s 2000 decision, given that it ended a hand recount that aides in the Gore campaign believed might have delivered a different result.
In an odd coincidence, Justice Kavanaugh worked on the recount litigations in Florida, on the Republican side, as a young lawyer. So did Justice Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts.
