The 2000 presidential election was the most closed and controversial election in the history of the United States. Vice President and Democratic candidate Al Gore competed with the governor of Texas George W Bush.

Gore won with 48.38% of the nation's popular votes. Bush was left with 47.87%.  But after the Supreme Court counted the votes in the state of Florida, the Republican candidate won the state vote.
