United States general election (Presidential), 2000

From dKosopedia

Contents

Overview

The U.S. Presidential election in 2000 had as its principal candidates, George W. Bush, then Governor of Texas, Al Gore, then Vice President under President Bill Clinton, and Ralph Nader, a long time consumer activist. The results of the election hinged on Florida's electoral votes. Florida's conduct of the Presidential election was marred by controversy. Preliminary counts showed a roughly 500 vote for George W. Bush. The results were challenged by Al Gore in court and the Florida Supreme Court ordered a partial recount. The U.S. Supreme Court intervened in the case Bush v. Gore (see Key Court Decisions)and ruled 5-4 on conservative-liberal lines that there should not be a recount thereby throwing the election to George W. Bush. Newspaper analysis of the facts showed that it was likely that a recount would have lead to the election of Al Gore rather than George W. Bush.
