The United States presidential election of 2000 was a contest between the Democratic candidate Al Gore verses the Republican candidate of George W. Bush. The November 7 election was narrowly won by Bush, who won 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266. The election was a hard-fought contest featuring a popular Vice-President in Al Gore, and a popular Governor and son of a former President in George W. Bush. There were several important issues in this election, including the role of the United States in international affairs, the economy, and morality, but more attention is usually paid to the election itself, which features a controversy over who won Florida's 25 electoral votes, the recount process in that state, and the issue of the popular vote.
In the American system of presidential elections, the electoral vote system determines the winner, and the George W Bush won this count, although Democratic candidate Al Gore, the Vice President of the United States received more popular votes than Republican candidate George W. Bush, the Governor of Texas.
It was the third time in American history that a candidate won the vote in the Electoral College without receiving a plurality of the popular vote; it also happened in the elections of 1876 and 1888. In 1824 John Quincy Adams received a plurality in neither the popular vote nor the electoral college vote and was selected President by the U.S. House of Representatives.
