US Election 2000 Map
The 2000 U.S. election map is split almost perfectly in half. George W. Bush won the presidency after one of the closest and most contested races in U.S. history. Red dominates the South, Midwest, and much of the Mountain West. Blue is clustered along the coasts and Great Lakes. The narrow result came down to Florida and it was just a few hundred votes deciding an entire election.
