Official result

Election summary

President
George W. Bush [R]
Main opponent
Albert Gore, Jr. [D]
Source note
George W. Bush received fewer popular votes than Albert Gore Jr., but received a majority of electoral votes. An elector from the District of Columbia "cast a blank ballot", effectively abstaining, so DC cast only 2 of its 3 electoral votes for a candidate for both President and Vice President.

State-by-state result

Electoral votes by state

Coverage and interpretation notes

  • Historical geometry is independently versioned

    The map uses a checksum-pinned, election-date geometry build while Electoral College allocations remain traced to the NARA fact tables.

  • County Shift Lab is available

    MEDSL county popular-vote facts are available in a separate truth-preserving layer. Only approved election-vintage geometry is mapped; special units and pending boundaries remain explicit.

  • Available and cast electoral votes differ

    The constitutional majority threshold uses the available Electoral College total, while the recorded presidential allocations reflect votes actually cast.
