How many people in Florida voted for Bush in 2000 and how many for Gore?

Question

Unfortunately for Democrats, our elections are determined by an electoral college system, not popular vote.

Although there are many counts based on different assumptions, more point to Bush winning the popular vote in Florida.

LOL. Look at the liberal's answers. Of course they won't provide the numbers, only generic complaints about an unfair system.

Isn't it funny how every election they lose was "rigged"?

Answer 1

The Democrats wanted to recount several districts in Florida, had the recount gone through, Bush would have won by 537 votes.

The Republicans wanted to recount the entire state, had they done that Gore would have won.

Had the Republican Supreme Court followed the Constitution on elections too close to call, they would have had Congress decide and Bush would have been chosen by the Republican congress.

Answer 2

The final vote tally in Florida was Bush 2,912,790 and Gore 2,912,253 - Bush won by a mere 537 votes.

National results
Vice President Al Gore came in second in the electoral vote, but received 543,816 more popular votes than Bush. Such a close national contest contributed to the controversy of the election; the vote tally in Florida remains a point of dispute (see United States presidential election, 2000 Florida results). Because the margin of vote tallies was only 0.5% between Gore and Bush, and the accepted error rates for mechanical voting machines used across the nation in the 2000 election are all 1% or higher, it cannot be said who actually won the popular vote in 2000.

Gore failed to win the popular vote in his home state of Tennessee. Had he won Tennessee, he could have won the election without Florida. Gore was the first major party presidential candidate to have lost his home state since George McGovern lost South Dakota in 1972.

On election night, the news media twice declared a winner in the state of Florida prematurely based on exit polls, before deciding the race was too close to call. It became clear that both candidates needed Florida's electoral votes to win the presidency. A month of controversial court challenges and recounts followed, until the Supreme Court of the United States halted further recounts in its ruling for Bush v. Gore. Bush was certified as the winner in Florida by a margin of 537 votes, thereby defeating Gore, who received more votes than Bush nationwide. 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. (This also happened in the elections of 1876, 1888. However, in 1824 John Quincy Adams received neither the popular vote nor the Electorial College vote and was appointed President by the House of Representatives.)

Answer 3

The official vote count was 2,912,790 for Bush vs 2,912,253 for Gore, a margin of 527.

If nothing else the 2,000 election shows that every vote counts.

RESPONSE - "LOL. Look at the liberal's answers. Of course they won't provide the numbers, only generic complaints about an unfair system".

I'm what probably most people on this board would consider Liberal yet I gave you exact figures. I'm not sure what you're clucking about.

Answer 4

With brother Jeb as the Governor of the state, George Bush wins that election every time. And it really doesn't even matter who votes for who. The outcome will be George W. Bush as the winner.

Answer 5

Gore did no longer lose in Florida via 537 votes (a minimum of no longer after the researchers finished counting "chads" for psychological interest). And bear in mind, it is not finished votes that count quantity, it is electoral votes. New Mexico does no longer have tipped the election one way or yet another, amazing? And the reason that Gore did no longer settle for the outcomes grew to become into that there grew to become into universal allegations of voter tampering (i.e. police blocking off highways to steer away from minorities from vote casting) and confusion with the mechanics of the Florida equipment (putting chad vs. dimpled chad) besides via fact the format of the poll ("neglected" punchblocks etc.) greater, in case you bear in mind, it grew to become into the Florida appropriate court docket, supposedly examining their regulations, which ordered the recount to proceed. It grew to become into Bush who appealed to the U.S. appropriate court docket.

Answer 6

Since over ten thousand votes were never counted at all, we will never know for sure. And since all the counted ballots have been destroyed, the question is moot.

Answer 7

Al Gore. I didn't vote for Jeb either, another one sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, in Terri Schiavo's death.

Answer 8

Ahhh... it really doesn't matter and we'll never really know now will we??? Hanging chads to the rescue for GW.

Answer 9

About a thousand more voted for Bush. That's why he won.

Answer 10

they did a "recount" or RIGGED
