dbo:abstract
  • The 2000 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. State voters chose 32 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Texas was won by the Republican Party candidate, the state's incumbent governor, George W. Bush, by a 21.32% margin of victory. This was the first time since 1928 that Cottle County voted Republican. Many counties that Bill Clinton won in 1996 swung towards Bush in this election, in part due to the increasingly conservative bent of rural areas and Bush's favorite son status within the state. Perhaps the most notable and surprising county to be won by Bush was the very liberal Travis County. Bush's win in the county is likely due to the somewhat strong showing of third-party candidate Ralph Nader, who got 10.37% of the vote, his best showing in any Texas county. Had those voters voted for Gore, he would have narrowly won the county by 5.16% (52.04% to Bush's 46.88%). This would be the last time Travis County voted Republican, and the last time third-party candidates affected the results in that county as in 2004 and onward, the Democrats have increased their margins, culminating in Joe Biden's 71.41% win compared to Donald Trump's 26.43% of the vote in 2020.
