Kuka oli George H.W. Bushin vastaehdokas voittamissaan presidentinvaaleissa?
The 2000 United States presidential election was held on November 7, 2000. The Republican Party candidate, incumbent Texas Governor George W. Bush, who is the son of former President George H. W. Bush, defeated the Democratic candidate, incumbent Vice President Al Gore. The outcome of the election hinged on Florida, where a narrow margin of victory caused a mandatory recount. More recounts were initiated by legislation in certain counties, and the dispute eventually reached the US Supreme Court. The court's decision (5-4) on December 12 stopped the recounts, with Florida's votes being counted for Bush, who thus won the election. This was the fourth time in US history that the winning candidate did not receive a majority of the popular vote. The vote difference in Florida was 537 votes between the candidates.
