Opinion of Bush v. Gore (the U.S. Supreme Court decision)?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I've always thought it was a poor decision. The Supremes should never have gone anywhere near the actual election results.

What should have happened was that Florida failed to conduct a valid election. Since the election couldn't reasonably be either corrected or done over, it's Electoral Votes cannot be certified and are not valid this time around.

Since Florida's voted would have been decisive, the election goes to the House where Bush would have won. The Supremes can then rule during their normal term on how Florida and other states need to conduct their balloting in the future.
