Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I believe it was the Florida supreme court that said 'nuh uh' after several recount stalls and mismanagements. Florida govenor at the time in charge of directing recounts? Jeb Bush, George Bush's brother.
Then the conservative-led Supreme Court said 'we agree with said 'nuh uh'.' and quoted Florida's decision in their ruling. Which ruffled a lot of legal experts.
But hopefully it's a once-off horrible event that won't affect future legal decisions. Lemme check the names of the lawyers involved here.. Hmm John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. OK you guys are screwed.
You're not wrong but I think Fox news calling the race for Bush emboldened some others to do it, and that swayed public opinion, which matters in theory at least.
Yep, Fox led the charge in manufacturing consent for the ensuing legal “justifications” outlined in the comment above.
It is a rather incredible cast of characters considering current events, to say the least.
