Bush got 8.95% with 18,073 votes compared to Nader who got 5.24% with 10,576 votes.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections uselectionatlas.org A total of 44% of the population came out to vote.https://dcboe.org/ District of Columbia Board of Elections - Official Site dcboe.org The District of Columbia has never voted for a Republican, however, one Democratic elector abstained from casting a vote, bringing the district's electoral vote total down from 3 to 2. The District and neighboring Maryland were the only jurisdictions where Gore improved upon Bill Clinton's performance. This election is one of three occasions where only two electoral votes were cast by a place in a presidential election: the others were in Mississippi in 1820, as one of the state's three electors died before the Electoral College convened and there was insufficient time to find a replacement; and in Nevada in 1864 due to one of the electors getting snowbound and there being no law to replace him.Rocha Guy Nevada Myths https://nsla.nv.gov/myths Nevada State Library and Archives 22 April 2021 2 September 8, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220908135411/https://nsla.nv.gov/myths dead Results 2000 United States presidential election in the District of Columbiahttp://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2000&fips=11&f=1&off=0&elect=0&minper=0 Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections - District of Columbia 2024-08-11PartyCandidateRunning mateVotesPercentageElectoral votes Democratic Al Gore Joe Lieberman171,92385.16%2 Republican George W.
