  • The 2000 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 7, 2000 throughout all 50 states and D.C. , which was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 25 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President. Florida, a swing state, had a major recount dispute that took center stage in the election. Thus, the outcome of the 2000 United States presidential election was not known for more than a month after balloting, because of the extended process of counting and then recounting of Florida presidential ballots. State results tallied on election night gave 246 electoral votes to Republican candidate George W. Bush and 255 to Democratic nominee Al Gore, with New Mexico (5), Oregon (7), and Florida (25) too close to call that evening. Mathematically, Florida's 25 electoral votes became the key to an election win, despite the fact that both New Mexico and Oregon were declared in favor of Gore over the next few days. After an intense recount process and the decision of Bush v. Gore, Governor George W. Bush officially won Florida's electoral votes and as a result, the entire presidential election. This debacle led to calls for electoral reform in Florida.
