Presidential Election
In one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history, Democrat Al Gore barely lost to Republican George W. Bush. After a close and controversial vicotry for Bush in Florida, he defeated Gore by a margin of 271 to 266, with one DC elector refusing to vote for Gore. This defeat was twice as punishing on Gore as he actually won the popular vote 51,003,926 to 50,460,110.
