“In the interest of finality, the majority effectively orders the disenfranchisement
of an unknown number of voters whose ballots reveal their intent . . . but were
for some reason rejected by ballot-counting machines.”
“What must underlie petitioners’ entire federal assault on the Florida election
procedures is an unstated lack of confidence in the impartiality and capacity of
the state judges who would make the critical decisions if the vote count were to
proceed . . . . Although we may never know . . . the identity of the winner of this
year’s Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the
Nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.”
—Justice John Paul Stevens, from his dissenting opinion in Bush v. Gore, 2000
