The correct answer is: It ended Gore's challenge to 2000 election results

The significant outcome of Bush v. Gore was that it ended Gore's challenge to the 2000 election results. Option A is incorrect because the case did not start a new election, it was a legal challenge to the results of the existing election. Option B is incorrect because the case did not establish a new voting system, it only addressed the election process of one specific election. Option D is incorrect because the Supreme Court's decision did not call for a nationwide recount, but instead halted the manual recount happening in Florida.
