Good to know
- The result came down to Florida, which George W. Bush carried by 537 votes after the Supreme Court ended the recount (Bush v. Gore). Al Gore won the national popular vote.
- Some electoral votes were split within states, cast by faithless electors or not counted, so the coloured states do not add up exactly to the official totals shown here. Each state is coloured by the party that won most of its electors.
