In 2000, the United States presidential election was one of the closest and most controversial presidential elections in history. After a month of recounts and court challenges, George W. Bush was declared the winner over Vice President Al Gore by 537 votes in the state of Florida. This was the fourth time in history that a candidate won the Electoral College vote without receiving the majority of the nation's popular vote.
