| Â | Who Won the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election? |
 | | The winner of the popular vote in each state is awarded that state's electoral votes, which is equal to the number of Members of Congress that state has. | | | The first method (listed as "current" in the table below) is that used today in the United States, where the winner of the popular vote in a state receives all the state's electoral votes. | | | There are a total of 538 electoral votes, and a candidate must win a majority (270) in order to be declared President of the United States. |

Hayes in 1876 and Benjamin Harrison in 1888. | | | The close contest for president has fueled speculation about whether a candidate could win the popular vote but lose the race for the 270 Electoral College votes needed to be elected. | | | Harrison won an Electoral College majority even though his opponent won the popular vote. |

| | Strange that I don't remember liberals and leftists calling that election a fraud. | | | The other amazing thing is the claim on CounterCoup that "over 19,000 Gore voters' ballots were thrown away." Actually those ballots had more than one person chosen as president and as the media finally reported, similar numbers of ballots had to be discarded in the 1996 presidential election as well. | | | In fact there are close to two million outstanding absentee ballots that have to still be counted around the country, and Gore's slim lead in the popular voting could easily vanish (though aside states such as New Mexico and Florida, the absentee ballots are unlikely to change election results in those states). |
