Read the constitution. The president is ‘selected’ by the Senate and House sitting as a combined body. They are guided by, but not wedded to, the votes of the Electoral College as certified by the Secretary of State of each state. A single Congressman joined by a single Senator can raise an objection to a state’s electors, wherein a vote is taken – one vote counted per state – to accept or reject that state’s results. If the Supreme Court (which has NO say in the process) had been unanimous for Gore, Bush would still have become president.
