  • The 2000 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 7, 2000, as part of the nationwide presidential election. Florida, a swing state, had a major recount dispute that took center stage in the election. 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 recounting Florida's presidential ballots. State results tallied on election night gave 246 electoral votes to Republican nominee Texas Governor George W. Bush and 255 to Democratic nominee Vice President Al Gore, with New Mexico (5), Oregon (7), and Florida (25) too close to call that evening. Gore won New Mexico and Oregon over the following few days; but the result in Florida was to be decisive, regardless of how those two states had voted. After an intense recount process and the United States Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore, Bush won Florida’s electoral votes by a margin of only 537 votes out of almost six million cast (0.009%) and, as a result, became the president-elect. The process was extremely divisive and led to calls for electoral reform in Florida. Bush became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying Palm Beach County since the county's founding in 1909. If Gore had won the recount, then he would have won the election with a total of 291 electoral votes, and Bush would have lost with 246 electoral votes. The final official Florida count gave the victory to Bush by 537 votes, making it by percentage not only the tightest race of the campaign (New Mexico was decided by 366 votes but has a much smaller population, representing a 0.061% margin), but also the closest in any United States presidential election ever. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which the Democratic candidate won Pasco County or Hernando County. It was also the first time the Democratic candidate won Orange County since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. (en)
  • Pemilihan umum Presiden Amerika Serikat di Florida tahun 2000 berlangsung pada tanggal 7 November dan merupakan bagian dari pemilu serentak di 50 negara bagian Amerika Serikat dan Washington, D.C.. Florida merupakan negara bagian yang dapat berubah menjadi pendukung calon Partai Republik dan Demokrat, namun muncul kontroversi terkait dengan penghitungan ulang suara di negara bagian tersebut. Hasil pemilu presiden tahun 2000 tidak diketahui selama lebih dari sebulan setelah pemilu karena proses penghitungan ulang yang panjang. Proses penghitungan ulang sendiri berlangsung sengit dan berujung pada kasus Bush v. Gore di Mahkamah Agung Amerika Serikat. Pada akhirnya Bush berhasil memenangkan negara bagian Florida dengan perbedaan suara sebesar 537 saja. Perbedaan suara inilah yang mengantarkan Bush ke tampuk kekuasaan, karena Bush memperoleh 25 suara elektoral yang membuatnya berhasil mengumpulkan 271 suara elektoral di Lembaga Pemilihan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden Amerika Serikat.
