SCOTUS decided the 2000 election. Is history going to repeat in 2020?

Trump says he’ll ‘see what happens’ on election results;

President Trump held a news conference at the White House in which he responded to a question about whether he would agree to a peaceful transfer of power by saying, “Well, we’re going to have to see what happens." Earlier in the day, he predicted the election would end up in the Supreme Court.

Democrats are crying foul and completely ignoring the fact that the 2020 presidential election was indeed decided by the Supreme Court!

Bush v. Gore, case in which, on December 12, 2000, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed a Florida Supreme Court request for a selective manual recount of that state’s U.S. presidential election ballots. The 5–4 decision effectively awarded Florida’s 25 votes in the electoral college—and thus the election itself—to Republican candidate George W. Bush. On the evening of November 7, 2000, a clear winner had yet to emerge in that day’s U.S. presidential election between Bush and Democratic candidate Al Gore.
