dbo:abstract
  • The 2000 United States presidential election in West Virginia took place on November 7, 2000 as part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 5 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. West Virginia gave its 5 electoral votes to the Republican nominee, Governor of Texas George W. Bush, marking the first time a Republican carried the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984, and only the fourth time since 1932. While West Virginia was traditionally a Democratic stronghold, this election marked the beginning of a political realignment. The Mountain State would become the only state to vote against George H. W. Bush twice and for George W. Bush twice. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which the Democratic candidate won Kanawha County, Harrison County, Lincoln County, and Wyoming County. This was the first time since 1928 that a non-incumbent Republican won West Virginia, and was only the fourth time since that election where a Democrat lost the state. As of 2020, this is the last presidential election in which a Democrat won any congressional district in the state and the last time the state was won by single digits. This is also the last time West Virginia voted more Democratic than neighboring Virginia, North Carolina, or Colorado, three historically Republican states that, after 2008, would transition to being either Democratic-leaning or purple.
