- In '08, California Supreme Court struck down the gay marriage ban voted and approved by a majority of the people in 2000 as a ballot initiative
- Politicians votes are recorded as 'present' instead of voting yes or no on bills.
- In the 2000 U.S. presidential election Republican candidate George W. Bush won the election, despite losing the popular vote to Democratic nominee Al Gore by a margin of over 500,000
