The presidential-election controversies currently playing out in various parts of the country are not repeats of Bush v. Gore. The Supreme Court ultimately concluded that there were separate and conflicting vote-counting standards in different parts of Florida that violated the Constitution. The justices halted a late Florida Supreme Court order for a statewide recount. State supreme courts, which have the responsibility to interpret state law, have upheld those decisions. The sooner that Trump and his supporters accept the election result, the better it will be for the nation.
