Answer: Appealed the Florida Supreme Court's decision to allow a hand recount.

The result in Florida had such a narrow margin that the Florida Election Code demanded a statewide obligatory machine recount. The Gore campaign petitioned that the recount was made by hand. The Florida Supreme Court prolonged the deadline for the recount and requested a manual recount. The Bush campaign appealed that ruling to the US Supreme Court to stop the recount.
