Solution
Answer
The answer is a recount of the Florida vote.
Explanation
Option 1: The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court did play a crucial role in the 2000 presidential race, but it did not directly decide the election. Instead, it made a ruling that affected the recount process in Florida.
Option 2: A recount of the Florida vote
The 2000 presidential race was indeed heavily influenced by the recount of the Florida vote. The initial results were extremely close, leading to a mandatory recount. The controversy and legal battles over this recount ultimately led to the involvement of the Supreme Court.
Option 3: A runoff election
There was no runoff election in the 2000 presidential race. The U.S. presidential election process does not include a provision for a runoff election.
Option 4: The U.S. House of Representatives
The U.S. House of Representatives did not decide the 2000 presidential race. The decision was influenced by the recount process and the subsequent Supreme Court ruling.
