The correct statement is: **The Supreme Court ruled, after a partial recount of Florida votes, that Bush won the election.**
In the 2000 presidential election, the Supreme Court case Bush v. Gore effectively resolved the disputed Florida recount. The Court's ruling determined that the recount procedures violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, thus effectively awarding Florida's electoral votes to George W. Bush, securing his presidency despite losing the overall popular vote to Al Gore.
