| Notes | George W. Bush received fewer popular votes than Albert Gore Jr., but received a majority of electoral votes. An elector from the District of Columbia "cast a blank ballot", effectively abstaining, so DC cast only 2 of its 3 electoral votes for a candidate for both President and Vice President. | ||
